Regular Cover by Jacen Burrows. Written by David Lapham. Art by German Nobile. David Lapham unveils a new tale of ancient Rome and the most feared emperor of all time. The one name that still speaks volumes of how absolute power can corrupt: Caligula. After his assassination attempt goes horribly and horrifyingly wrong, young Junius finds himself taken in by Caligula, who renames him Felix, meaning "lucky one," and becomes the Emperor's pet, confidant, whipping boy, lover, apprentice and biographer. Caligula lavishes money and women on Felix one minute, then beats him the next. Felix must play along if he's to find out the secret behind Caligula's mysterious supernatural power over life and death.

Includes DVD - 1st printing. By Art Spiegelman. The cartoonist re-enters the book that consumed him for over a decade to talk about his survivor parents, the oxymoron of picturing life in a death camp, his guilt-ridden success, racist imagery, and his beloved medium.

Why comics? In this book and its accompanying DVD, Art Spiegelman provides an onscreen reference copy of The Complete Maus linked to a large archive of audio interviews with his father, memories of his mother by those who knew her during the war, essays about cartooning, scholarly essays about Maus, thousands of preparatory sketches and drafts, scans of his private Maus notebooks, and much more.
