And one book in particular that was more recent was "Maus," which is like a Seminole graphic novel about what Jews went through during the Holocaust. And it's amazing book and I highly recommend it.

Rich Roll similarly recommended the book on The Rich Roll Podcast during a conversation regarding free speech and book banning controversies, calling it an amazing foundational graphic novel. Other podcast hosts discussed the title in different contexts; Josh Clark mentioned the book on Stuff You Should Know while noting Spiegelman's involvement in creating Garbage Pail Kids and later referenced his insights regarding Charles Schulz's Peanuts.
