Every image you see of African Americans‚ particularly African American males‚ were considered monsters and horrendous human

A Game of Cat and Maus Maus and Maus II are both very powerful and moving graphic novels. Both of which discuss one of the worst tragedies known to mankind. Spielgelman used the graphic novel form because it came natural to him‚ however he probably also used it as a way to get a larger audience and to make the subject matter a little less intimidating.
