Review Quotes: "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 . . . 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
