Pantheon Today
Pantheon continues to publish well-respected fiction and non-fiction, and has more recently expanded further into graphic novels. Pantheon published a graphic-based "for beginners" series in the 1970s and 1980s, and decided to bring the series back in 2003. One of the first graphic novels Pantheon published was the highly acclaimed Maus: A Survivor's Tale by Art Spiegelman in 1986. Spiegelman has become somewhat of a comics consultant, advising editor-in-chief Dan Frank. In 2005, Pantheon published The Acme Novelty Library by Chris Ware. That same year, Pantheon published The Rabbi's Cat, a graphic novel by Joann Sfar which "tells the wholly unique story of a rabbi, his daughter, and their talking cat".
Books published by Pantheon in 2007 that are doing well (ranked by number of holdings in libraries according to OCLC Worldcat) are: The Good Husband of Zebra Drive by Alexander McCall Smith, The Little Book of Plagiarism by Richard Posner, Bambi vs. Godzilla: On the Nature, Purpose, and Practice of the Movie Business by David Mamet, and Toussaint Louverture: A Biography by Madison Smartt Bell.

Famous quotes containing the words pantheon and/or today:
“Revolution calls my name. I will soon dwell in nothingness, and my name will be in the Pantheon of history.”
—Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
