Comics has always been a popular form of art in American Culture. However, it experienced a decline due to conservative oppressions of the conservative parts of the society. Comics gained its popularity back with the birth of graphic novel. Graphic novel both revived and provided comics with respectability by collaborating with fiction. Maus, a prominent work of graphic novel, has an important role in this development. Because its creator Art Spiegelman benefits from the tradition of fiction while recounting the story of his father who survives not only through the World War II but also Auschwitz, Maus is a very explicit example of the collaboration between graphic novel and literature. |
