10/12/2011: Comics: MetaMaus by Art Spiegelman

“I wouldn’t have made a really great ballet about the Holocaust. It wasn’t in my gene structure. So to me it was obvious, but I think that’s what’s hard to remember, even going back to the early ’80s — just what disrepute comics were held in — the dialogues that did and didn’t take place about the Holocaust in the ’70s and ’80s because it’s now become such a major trope in media.”

Maus is an incredible work of art. MetaMaus has shot right to the top of my wishlists. Enjoy the excerpt above.
