Maus: Relato de un Superviviente

Art Spiegelman’s groundbreaking graphic novel, Maus: Relato de un Superviviente, published by Norma Editorial from 1989 onward, redefined the medium by using anthropomorphic mice and cats to recount his father’s harrowing experiences during the Holocaust. Spiegelman’s stark, black-and-white art and unflinching narrative weave a dual timeline, exploring both the horrors of the past and the painful present of family memory. This single-volume work—originally serialized in the 1970s and 1980s—remains a landmark for its raw emotional depth, its pioneering use of comics as serious literature, and its profound impact on how history is told through sequential art.
