"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
