An amazing book by Art Spiegelman. Winner of a Pulitzer prize (1992) Mouse recounts the survival and times of the nazi era in Poland. What i loves most about it, is how he illustrates nationatilies and certain characters by the animal they're being portrayed by. " All Jews are mice (hence the name of the comic), of course all Germans are cats, Swedes are reindeer, the French are Frogs, etc. The metaphors for each species are so deep you could mine them for days."(link)
An amazing story very well told.
