The Complete Maus A Survivor's Tale : My Father Bleeds History and Here My Troubles Began. Winner of the Pulitzer Price

A loving documentary and brutal fable, a mix of compassion and stoicism [that] sums up the experience of the Holocaust with as much power and as little pretension as any other work I can think of.
The New Republic

A quiet triumph, moving and simple impossible to describe accurately, and impossible to achieve in any medium but comics.
The Washington Post

Spiegelman has turned the exuberant fantasy of comics inside out by giving us the most incredible fantasy in comics history: something that actually occurred . The central relationship is not that of cat and mouse, but that of Art and Vladek. Maus is terrifying not for its brutality, but for its tenderness and guilt.
The New Yorker

All too infrequently, a book comes along that s as daring as it is acclaimed. Art Spiegelman s Maus is just such a book.
Esquire

An epic story told in tiny pictures.
The New York Times

A remarkable work, awesome in its conception and execution at one and the same time a novel, a documentary, a memoir, and a comic book. Brilliant, just brilliant.
