Spiegalmen is yet another comics author to prove to the ignorant...

Art spiegelman is another accomplished comic author that has begun to open the eyes of ignorant readers when it comes to reading comics. In fact, while listening to the introductory interview Spiegelman mentions that the instance that inpsired the most to write his comic was when he was in his fourth grade class - he saw a girl reading a romantic comic and she started crying. Even Spiegelman thought that it was quite a riot that a comic, a "funny" could make one cry.

But in the earlier stages of this interview, Spiegelman states that a lot of readers would rather prefer to look rather than to read. In my opinion, when it comes to the Holocaust, i couldn't agree more. Throughout my English and history classes i have read stories upon stories of this horrific era; and while the words were heart crushing, it wasnt enough. It wasn't until i saw Schindler's List for the first time during my world history class of my senior year of high school, did i realize how horrific it truly was. It's the whole concept of "seeing is believing".

I also enjoyed learning about how Art made this comic book: through a musical group of three German Jews and three Arians and the voice of Vladek's story. How both the music and Vladek's voice were blended together provided a kinda made my skin stand up...it was just so erie to hear Vladek speak in such a withdrawn voice. But, this withdrawn voice is what made this book such a success. Vladek said just how it was...nothing less.
