Back when I presented my paper "Beyond Maus : How to Expand Your Collection of Holocaust Comics and Graphic Novels" at the AJL conference in Toronto, I wasn't aware of scans of entire comic stories being made available for free online. Unfortunately, only 2 of the sites listed below are publisher sites (and thus, obviously being done with permission).
Most of these I would caution with the phrase "Suggested for mature readers", which may be seen on the covers of the more "adult" comics. ***** Berliner, Janet. "Mi Yagid Lebanim? : Who Will Tell the Children?" Introduction to Charnel Houses of Europe : The Shoah (1996) This is actually an illustrated essay, not a comic story. However, I thought it was close enough that I should include it in this list. Bogdanove, Jon & Louise Simonson. [Untitled]. Superman : The Man of Steel #81 June 1998 (NY : DC) http://superman.ws/tales2/thesuperman/2/?page=0 Click on the numbered hyperlinks to go to that page. Bogdanove, Jon & Louise Simonson.

These 2 stories attracted the attention of the ADL's Abe Foxman, who wrote "he never names the victims. The intent was to send a universal message. The result proved offensive to Holocaust victims".
