SI LEWEN'S PARADE is a timeless story told in a language that knows no country --- a wordless epic that, despite its muteness, is more powerful than the written or the spoken word.

First published in 1957, THE PARADE is a lost classic, newly discovered, remastered and presented by Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of MAUS. Reproduced in a unique two-sided accordion-fold format with an extensive overview of the artist’s career on the verso, THE PARADE is a celebration of art and the story of recurring war as Si Lewen experienced it over the past 90 years, watching the joyful parades that marked the end of World War I lead into the death marches of World War II and the Korean War.

As THE PARADE unfolds, the reader is taken on an unforgettable journey of sequential images.
