Answer:

"Prisoner on the Hell Planet" is a short comic strip written by Art Spiegelman covering the events of his mother's death.

It is different from Maus because there are real humans in it and it is all in chronological order.

They're similar because they both reflect on a traumatic moment/experience in life (aka his mother's death and father's experience in the holocaust).

The "prisoner on the hell planet" is different from other comics because there are actual people in it and the pages of this book are black different from other comics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prisoner on the Hell Planet (1972), is a short funny cartoon composed by Art Spiegelman covering the occasions of his mom's death. The work is shown in a German Expressionist way, compared as a supplement in his bigger work Maus, Vol. I, which utilizes creatures as its principle type of characters.

The "prisoner on the hell planet" is different because the pages are black, and there are actual people in it. there are a lot of deep metaphors and a sad, dark mood that have been used in the lesson.
