"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
