Maus I: A Survivor's Tale — My Father Bleeds History

US is the true first (Spiegelman is American; written and published in English). The genuine 1986 first collects only the first six chapters. After Maus II appeared in 1991, Pantheon reissued Vol. I labeled 'Volume I' / 'My Father Bleeds History' WITHOUT changing the copyright-page date; that reissue is routinely misrepresented as the 1986 first. Distinguish by the absence of the volume designation and by the softcover-original format.
