Art Spiegelman is a genius

He didn't even draw it. And his father would have you believe that limbs can be stretched-out like Stretch Armstrong. This book is as fake as the holocust.

There have been so many books on the subject of Holocaust yet we are not tired of it. IMO it is the fact that we get retold this same story each time from a different character's perspective that keeps us interested.

"Character" means a person in a book. It doesn't necessarily mean it is fictional.

1:37 "extraordinay heroic figure"? Not really. In fact, Art Spiegelman was feeling guilty for portraying his father in such an unfavorable light. I believe he said in the book that survivors are not necessary just good people or just bad people.

Exactly. He said who survived was “random” in the book.

he listed off odysseus in the same breath so he's probably going for the more greek myth kind of hero who can suffer from great flaws too.

Spiegelman unfortunately the only voice in comics for Jewish subject-matter, a reality he's quite happy with. Any vision of Jewish life that isn't a memorial for the Holocaust gets suppressed.

Many comic artists and writers are Jewish. A very famous graphic novel that deals with Jewish subject matter is A Contract With God by Will Eisner.

I think the original Superman by Siegel and Shuster was a wink to the American Jewish experience: He wears glasses as Clark Kent and people can't tell he's really an alien, much as some Americans can't tell if some people are Jewish.

Literally not true. There are a bunch of Jewish comic writers and artists who express their identities in different ways through comics. Jewish writers built this medium and continue to be a large driving force within it.

I have to agree. Describing Vladek as "heroic", when Art went out of his way not to frame his father as a hero, because he wanted to avoid the Christian notion of survivor-as-martyr is a pretty seriius misread.
