Reviews"The most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust." -TheWall Street Journal  "The first masterpiece in comic book history." -The New Yorker "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." - Jules Feffer, "The most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust." --The Wall Street Journal  "The first masterpiece in comic book history." --The New Yorker "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 . . .

  • Unique holocaust story

    This is an amazing book. I read it 20 years ago and never forgot it. I will cherish this story and the grandson that was so creative in telling it by graphic cartography.

    This book is a masterpiece and I think it's very important. This one is in great condition, no pages missing, the box is the tiniest bit warn on the corner but that's it. Awesome quality.

  • Awesome story for adult or child.

    These two books are wonderfully descriptive. I loved them as a young adult, I read them again when I was older and still enjoyed them. I got them for my son so that he could experience them as well.

  • There's a Maus in my house

    Had to see what all the hubbub was about.. Excellent graphic novel! Bought multiple to make sure I had enough for ALL of my grandchildren. Banning these books is an absolutely ridiculous idea.

  • Maus

    One of the best, most engrossing world of literature I've ever read. Even if you don't usually read graphic novels, Spiegelman does a fantastic job at giving us a glimpse of what life was like for Jews during the Holocaust and even the after effects his father (a Holocaust survivor) remained with once the war was over.

  • Very compelling work about the Holocaust, glad to have it,.

    Interesting look at the Holocaust, through a comic book format. Nothing funny about it. Nazis versus Jews.
