Comparison Essay for 'Maus' and 'Jack and the Box'

If possible could you choose Arts Spiegelman as the writing subject? It's relatively easy to find his recourse online. Basically my professor is asking me to write a comparison essay between comics and picture books produced by the same author. Maus I and Maus II is a series comic about stories that happened to Jewish people in Auschwitz. If you need further help on what to write about it please contact me immediately, I will chat and help.
