Art Spiegelman created the
prisoner on the hell planet: a case history comic strip about his mother's suicide. both art's parents survived the holocaust. his father became completely frugal, and his mother dove deep into depression. mainly because he came from a disturbed household, when he was around 20 he suffered an "intense but brief" nervous breakdown and after a few months in a mental hospital, he returned home to live with his parents. it was shortly after that his mother took her own life. the following was moving as well as interesting so i decided to post!
the following links are the four pages of the comic directly from maus, part i: my father bleeds history. check it out, its an easy and emotional read.
