Originally published in serialized form in Raw magazine, the first volume of Maus published by Pantheon Books hit shelves in 1991. Since then, the complete story has gone on to be praised and banned, win coveted awards and outlandish criticism, and cemented itself as one of the greatest Holocaust tales ever penned.

Read the classic graphic memoir that remains "urgent, necessary reading" (Kirkus Reviews) twenty years after it was originally created—the story of Marjane Satrapi's unforgetable childhood and coming of age in Tehran during the Iranian Revolution.

“Spiegelman has turned the exuberant fantasy of comics inside out by giving us the most incredible fantasy in comics’ history: something that actually occurred…. The central relationship is not that of cat and mouse, but that of Art and Vladek. Maus is terrifying not for its brutality, but for its tenderness and guilt.” —The New Yorker

“I feel like they want a kinder, gentler Holocaust to present to their children.” —Art Spiegelman, responding to the banning of Maus by the McMinn County School Board

In January 2022, a Tennessee school board banned Art Spiegelman’s seminal graphic memoir—the only graphic novel to win the Pulitzer Prize—from their 8th grade curriculum. But with the rise of antisemitism across the U.S., there’s no better, or more important, time to revisit the book that The Wall Street Journal called “the most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust.”
