Scarce First of Maus
Maus: A Survivor's Tale
Notes: The first volume of Spiegelman's holocaust tale, originally serialized in RAW magazine. Maus is probably the most critically acclaimed graphic novel. It was awarded a special Pulitzer Prize in 1992; to date, the only graphic novel so honored.
A paperback original (the hardcover version was published years later; the book was reissued as "volume I" with an additional subtitle—"My Father Bleeds History" when the second volume was published, and that edition is often mistaken for this original first edition because the copyright page date did not change).
160 pages.
Edition + Condition: First edition (the last line of the copyright page reads, "Manufactured in U.S.A. First Edition"). This is a very good copy with minor wear to the edges,a couple of small stray ink marks on the front cover, and many small nicks on the back cover. The book is very susceptible to shelf wear and fine copies are very scarce.
Publication: New York: Pantheon, 1986.
