Maus - Art Speigelman

The last graphic novel I tried to read left me disappointed, thinking "Well what's the difference between this and a comic book?"

Maus is not a comic book. There's no superhero, no larger than life figures; there's just a story within a story. Maus is both brilliant and subtle. I tend not to focus on the drawings but some of them irresistably drew the eye (pun intended). It was highly recommended to me and I highly recommend it in turn.
