... that Horst Rosenthal's 1942 comic Mickey Mouse in the Gurs Internment Camp is "perhaps the earliest sequential art narrative dealing with the Holocaust"?

Comment: The first hook is probably better – the English translation of the title should make the hook easier to read. If anyone needs to see the paywalled sources or the cited Google Book pages, I can send them to you. —Bruce1ee^talk 12:28, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

A very good article on a fascinating subject. Sources are okay, language is good, length and novelty are impeccable. Hook no. 1 is alright; since people may not spontaneously understand what "sequential art narrative" means, I turned this into a blue link directing to comic strip.

@Edelseider: Thank you for your review and approval. I see you removed Horst Rosenthal as one of the two DYK articles in this nomination. Does it not qualify for DYK? Also, I removed the main page image template as non-free images are not permitted on the main page. —Bruce1ee^talk 11:33, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

I think that you cannot (and should not) propose two DYKs simultaneously, you have to make a choice and IMO the article about the comic is more likely to attract readers to the article about the author than vice-versa. BTW, I wonder why the image is non-free, the author died more than 70 years ago so it should be in the public domain.Edelseider (talk) 11:52, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

I'd love to see File:Mickey au Camp de Gurs (cover).jpg used, but I'm no copyright expert. Rosenthal died 77 years ago, but the comic was only published in 2014. —Bruce1ee^talk 14:03, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Edelseider, you can have more than one article for a DYK, here's one I did the review for, The Eucalyptus and Moshe Basson: Wikipedia:Recent_additions/2018/December#16_December_2018 --valereee (talk) 15:51, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
