Maus is an excellent graphic novel. I've used it in my class before. I like it's use of symbolism and hard hitting content. It's use of mice to represent the Jewish people is interesting and a controversial move by the author/artist Art Spiegelman.

I entitled the course "Blood in the Gutter: This is Not Your Grandfather's Comic Book". As you may know the gutter is the seemingly empty space between the pictures.
