• Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware (2000)

  [7/10]

  "Ware uses all sorts of symbolism through Jimmy Corrigan. For example, the Chicago Worlds Fair of 1893 represents the imaginary world that the Corrigans inhabit. A world thrown together, that looked great for the two weeks of the fair and then collapsed into sudden ruin."

• Maus: A Survivor's Tale by Art Spiegelman (1986)

  [7/10]

  "The plot moves along quickly and through the interesting metaphors of the animal heads you find yourself drawn into this personal tale of the Holocaust."

  Average score: 7.00
