Comic books legend Art Spiegelman, whose Holocaust fable "Maus" is the only comic to have won the Pulitzer Prize, will be leading the jury of the Angoulême Festival 2012, Europe's most important comics festival. The Swedish-born American writer and artist was a key figure in US underground comics in the 1960s and 1970s before his breakthrough work reached mass audiences and acclaim in 1988. Last year Spiegelman was given the Grand Prix at Angoulême, the festival's highest honour. Duration: 01:15
