A very colorful and bold comics and graphics anthology edited by Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly (a husband and wife team), which highlighted artists from around the world and was published in the United States from 1980 to 1991. In addition to the work of Spiegelman and Mouly, RAW featured cutting-edge comic artists such as Robert Crumb, Gary Panter, Charles Burns, Kim Deitch, Sue Coe, Jerry Moriarty, Richard Sala, and Ever Meulen, among many others. In these issues of RAW, one will find Gary Panter's best-known comic protagonist "Jimbo", a burly punk and existential adventurer, as well as "The Voice of Walking Flesh" by Charles Burns, "Love's Savage Fury" by Mark Newgarden, and a centerfold by Ever Meulen captioned "Use the Mood of the Past to Rewire Your Brain for the Future." Of significant importance, is the fact that Art Spiegelman's seminal graphic work "Maus: A Survivor's Tale" made it's first appearance in this magazine (chapters 2-7 are present here as stapled-in booklets). Spiegelman's unrivaled Holocaust narrative "Maus" was awarded the 1992 Pulitzer Prize (it was the first graphic novel to win the Pulitzer Prize), and he was the first-ever cartoonist to receive the prestigious Edward MacDowell Medal, a medal awarded annually since 1960 to artists who have made an outstanding contribution to American culture.
A nearly consecutive run of volume 1 of this trailblazing magazine with original serialized chapters of "Maus." "The Graphix Magazine for Your Bomb Shelter's Coffee Table." (Number 4 front cover caption). (Inventory #: 69182)
