I never got around to reading it myself, but I've stumbled across it quite a few times during my study. it should be terrific. a new way of approaching holocaust, even though approaching holocaust, by some, is meant to be impossible.
Just after reading the first volume I think it's absolutely brilliant. Whips out each and every superhero/anime type comic, throws it far away and locks up in a dark, unpopular place where they all should belong. The very first comic book I've read that's carrying such a great pack of emotion, intelligence and pure history. Shows the subject bothering me the most - holocaust and the effects it had on people. Wladyslaw Spiegelman was a great man, as everyone who somehow survived WW2 without betraying their own benefactors.
That was the old me before I got beaten by the system. While looking for that thread i found one where YOU shut me down and ticked me off. Quite a thrill I can tell you.
Lots of libraries carry maus these days - but it's a keeper so your own copy wouldn't be a waste of hard-earned.
no, no, reverse what i said. First, there is a typo in that smilie.
Second.. dear god, those people indeed have NO BRAINS. Maus NOT WORTHWHILE? Maus dissapointing? And rants coming from a boy that apparently has a wound between his butt cheeks?
