MAUS Now at Current Comics

Posted on June 20th, 2022 by Current Comics

MAUS, by Art Spiegelman, is one of the most important graphic novels ever made and Current Comics has copies in stock at our shop at 400 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey and online.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning MAUS is a brutally moving work of art widely hailed as the greatest graphic novel ever written. It recounts the chilling experiences of the author's father during the Holocaust, with Jews drawn as wide-eyed mice and Nazis as menacing cats.

Maus is a haunting tale within a tale, weaving the author's account of his tortured relationship with his aging father into an astonishing retelling of one of history's most unspeakable tragedies. It is an unforgettable story of survival and a disarming look at the legacy of trauma.
