The Complete Maus: A Survivor's Tale

Art Spiegelman’s The Complete Maus: A Survivor’s Tale collects his Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel in a single volume from Pantheon, beginning in 1997. A landmark of the medium, it recounts his father Vladek’s harrowing experiences as a Polish Jew during the Holocaust, with Jews drawn as mice and Nazis as cats. Spiegelman’s unflinching, layered narrative—interweaving past and present—forever expanded what comics could achieve as a serious literary and historical art form.
