The Complete Edition of Maus by Art Spiegelman is the story of a Holocaust survivor that won the Pulitzer Prize. Maus tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor from Hitler's Europe, and his son, a cartoonist trying to understand his father's history. In comic form, the Nazis are depicted as cats and the Jews as mice, creating a powerful twist on reality and bringing us closer to the tragedy of the Holocaust.

Maus is a haunting narrative where Vladek's survival story merges with the author's personal story about his relationship with his elderly father. Despite the burden of guilt that comes with survival, the two experience a normal life filled with small confrontations and unhappy visits. This stunning representation of our century's harshest history is a story of survival, not only of Vladek but also of the children who survive even the survivors.

The combined, definitive edition includes Maus I: A Survivor's Tale and Maus II. Art Spiegelman is a contributing editor and artist for the New Yorker. His drawings and prints have been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Maus, along with a Guggenheim Fellowship. Other works include: Breakdowns: From Maus to Now, The Wild Party, Open Me, I'm A Dog, Jack Cole and Plastic Man: Forms Stretched to Their Limits, In the Shadow of No Towers, and MetaMaus.
