dark emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

absolutely blew me away. the telling of the holocaust through the lens of a survivor while also incorporating elements of art spiegelman's relationship with his aging father made this an incredibly profound story on multiple levels. and what a surprisingly perfect medium to share this story.
