Beyond MAUS. The Legacy of Holocaust Comics collects 16 contributions that shed new light on
the representation of the Holocaust. While MAUS by Art Spiegelman has changed the perspectives
other comics and series of drawings some produced while the Holocaust happened are often not
recognised by a wider public. A plethora of works still waits to be discovered like early
caricatures and comics referring to the extermination of the Jews graphic series by survivors
or horror stories from 1950s comic books. The volume provides overviews about the depictions of
Jews as animals the representation of prisoner societies in comics as well as in depth studies
about distorted traces of the Holocaust in Hergé's Tintin and in Spirou the Holocaust in
Mangas and Holocaust comics in Poland and Israel recent graphic novels and the use of these
comics in schools. With contributions from different disciplines the volume also grants new
perspectives on comic scholarship.
