A little help with in-text citations for Maus

Here’s the problem:

I’m citing from both Maus I and Maus II in my paper, but I don’t know how to distinguish between each volume in my citations!

 Here’s the solution:

Your Maus I citation would look like this if you had not mentioned Spiegelman’s name in the sentence (Spiegelman I: 12).  A quote from Maus II would look like this (Spiegelman II: 46).  But remember, if you do mention that your quote is from Spiegelman in your own sentence, simply leave his name off in the citation: (I: 12) or (II: 46).

This is what you would do for all multivolume works.
