“Spiegelman prompts one to see the panel as a picture and a window, as an oxymoronic ‘picture window’ that must at once be looked at and looked through: looked at because its signifying   surface does not simply efface itself, does not merely yield before the authority of a signified reality or become a transparent means to an end outside itself; looked through because such ‘picture windows’ do open onto other windows, onto the abyssal depths of panes within panes.”
(Michael G. Levine, “Necessary Stains: Spiegelman’s Maus and the Bleeding of History”)
“Jews created the comic book, as best as I can tell. Two Jews created Superman. Another created Batman. And a certain Jacob Kurtzberg, who renamed himself Jack Kirby… well, don’t get me started.”
(Frank Miller, Eisner/Miller)
