Reviewed by Sophie 🔅 Zugegeben, ich habe mich lange nicht an Comics herangetraut und sie oft als albern oder nerdig abgetan. 🤭 Mit Maus von Spiegelman habe ich jedoch etwas völlig anderes entdeckt: eine thematisch tiefgehende und gleichzeitig kunstvoll erzählte Geschichte. Hier wurden die NS-Zeit, die Nachkriegszeit und die komplexe Vater-Sohn-Beziehung dargestellt bewegend, erschütternd und dabei auf überraschend kreative Weise. Ich wünschte, ich hätte Maus schon während meiner Schulzeit kennengelernt. Ein Meisterwerk, das zeigt, wie viel Ausdruck Comics haben können. 📖 😌
