The Works of Comic Art Spiegelman

Ive read and examined every display panel closely in both of the volumes of the book Maus: A Survivors record written by cunning Spiegelman. Art wishes to record the degree of his father who experienced and survived the final solution during WWII. This graphic novel consists to begin with of images that are accompanied by dialogue or narration.

However, precisely the heads of the char act asers are resembling animals. The rest of their bodies look, act and are dressed wish humans. I believe by portraying different races and nationalities as different animals Spiegelman was not nevertheless trying to point come in their characteristics, but also backsheesh at the relationships between these groups. The drawings of faces of the different characters were pretty simple, universal and iconic. By doing so, I believe Spiegelman was trying to show that a specific type of an animal could be any(prenominal) opposite animal of that group. In other words, the storey of Vladek could have been the story of any other Jew who suffered and survived the Holocaust. Spiegelman drew the characters in such a style so anyone could put themselves in their shoes. This is know as universality. As mentioned earlier, Spiegelman drew different nationalities and races as different ch aracters. Artie, Vladek and all other polish Jews were represented...
