I read this back when I first started working at the library. I re-read it now before re-reading the second volume for my book club at the alternative school. This is the award-winning and ground breaking graphic novel about Spiegelman's parents' experiences during the Holocaust. Spiegelman depicts the characters as animals: his family and other Jews are mice, the Poles are pigs, the French are frogs, Americans are dogs, and the Nazis are cats. This is the book that changed graphic novels into something more than just "comics."
