Why did Art Spiegelman write Maus as a graphic novel?

The Holocaust is a serious topic so why did he write it in graphic novel/ comic book form

I loved the book. Maybe it was to actaully SHOW how it was like. He could have written a book and described it but it wouldn’t have been the same EXACT image. And it was like a metaphor. He couldn’t actually WRITE the Jews as mice, Nazis as cats, and Americans as dogs. (Cats (Nazis) hate mice (Jews) and kill them and dogs (Americans) chase the cats (Nazis) away AND hate them too) So a graphic novel is better.

Also, did you read the second book? It actually shows the concentration camps in that one. Very sad.

In some ways, Styx was America’s answer to Queen. The Chicago quintet never ascended to the ranks of rock-and-roll royalty, as did their English counterparts, nor are they held in as high a regard today. Nevertheless, Styx fulfilled a Midwestern American hunger for high-flown fantasy typified on Pieces of Eight with songs like Dennis DeYoung and James Young’s “I’m Okay” and “Lords of the Rings,” …
