In the Shadow of No Towers is a comic strip by Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic artist Art Spiegelman.
The comic evolved from Spiegelman's experiences during the September 11 terrorist attacks. Spiegelman has said that the comic is a way to reclaim himself from the post-traumatic stress disorder he suffered after the attacks.
It was published by the German newspaper Die Zeit after Spiegelman was unable to secure publication in any major American outlet. In Britain, excerpts have been published in The Independent.
In 2004, the entire series of ten strips and a supplement of reprints of turn-of-the-century comics such as The Katzenjammer Kids and The Yellow Kid were printed together as a book.
