Just days after the banning of 'Maus' by a Tennessee school district made national news, two editions of Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel about the Holocaust have reached the top 20 on Amazon.com and are in limited supply.

NEW YORK -- Just days after the banning of "Maus" by a Tennessee school district made national news, two editions of Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel about the Holocaust have reached the top 20 on Amazon.com and are in limited supply.

"Maus" was No. 12 on Amazon as of early Friday evening, and was not available for delivery until mid-February. "The Complete Maus," which includes a second volume, was No. 9 and out of stock.Earlier this month, the McMinn County School Board in Tennessee voted to remove "Maus" due to "inappropriate language" and an illustration of a nude woman, according to minutes from a board meeting.

The board's decision came amid a wave of conservative-sponsored legislation and other actions to pull books from schools, with other banned works including Toni Morrison's "The Bluest Eye" and Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird."
