RAW Volume 1, #2 — Raw Books (December 1980) — the first chapter of MAUS

Grade: VF/NM 9.0 (seller-graded, raw copy)  |  Era: Modern / alternative comics  |  Format: Oversized magazine, 10½ in × 14⅛ in

Why collectors want this issue

• Contains the first chapter of MAUS, published as a small bound-in insert — the beginning of the only graphic novel ever to win a Pulitzer Prize.
• Edited and published by Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly, the anthology that redefined what comics could be.
• Oversized, lavishly printed format at 10½ × 14⅛ inches — the production values that set RAW apart from everything else on the stands.
• Fragile and scarce: the large format, thin insert and tiny print run mean high-grade complete copies rarely surface.
• A landmark of alternative comics history and a genuine literary key, not just a comics one.
