Below is a link that I found very informative. It is an interview that The National had with Art Spiegelman. They discuss his early years, how he started in the industry, as well as he gives a good explanation of Maus and a deeper insight on the creation of the graphic novel. They also discuss his other work in this interview.

I found this video really interesting as it gives you both information on Maus and graphic novels in general. It was neat to learn that comics used to be considered taboo and how Maus led the way to making graphic novels popular. It was also great to hear from Art himself and to hear what he really wanted to express when he was writing Mause and how he wanted to share his experience of his fathers story of the war.
