Period Pieces in Comics- A Light Reflection on Maus and Pop Culture

When my two colleagues and I were discussing time period pieces, I was skeptical. I didn’t know what to write mine on, since I tend to dislike period pieces. I admit I like things with a history, but not history in general. There are some exceptions of course, in my case they are graphic novels.

Graphic novels and comics don’t always get the respect they deserve as a storytelling medium. However, they often present us with a semi-accurate portrayal of pop culture relevant issues.
