Next to Yellow Birds Maus was my favorite. I like history and war history is particularly intriguing to me. This graphic novel was unique to me. The holocaust is an uncomfortable subject for most to talk about and Spiegelman wrote a comic to tell his father’s story. He kept the story serious and poked fun at only his own expense and his father never did he make light of the holocaust. To eloquently toe that line makes this novel a masterpiece. He was also able to express the lifetime effects of this tragedy and how this affected his own upbringing and the strain of the mannerisms and behaviors that never go away. Such as when his father does not trust anyone to count his pills or fix anything around and when he refuses to throw anything away.
