The lyrics and a link to the video.
Slayer - Angel of Death
***
Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The way that I want you to die
Slow death, immense decay
Showers that cleanse you of your life
Forced in
Like cattle
You run
Stripped of
Your life's worth
Human mice, for the Angel of Death
Four hundred thousand more to die
Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Sadistic, surgeon of demise
Sadist of the noblest blood
Destroying, without mercy
To benefit the Aryan race
Surgery, with no anesthesia
Feel the knife pierce you intensely
Inferior, no use to mankind
Strapped down screaming out to die
Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of Death
Pumped with fluid, inside your brain
Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes
Burning flesh, drips away
Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil
Frigid cold, cracks your limbs
How long can you last
In this frozen water burial?
Sewn together, joining heads
Just a matter of time
'Til you rip yourselves apart
Millions laid out in their
Crowded tombs
Sickening ways to achieve
The holocaust
Seas of blood, bury life
Smell your death as it burns
Deep inside of you
Abacinate, eyes that bleed
Praying for the end of
Your wide awake nightmare
Wings of pain, reach out for you
His face of death staring down,
Your blood running cold
Injecting cells, dying eyes
Feeding on the screams of
The mutants he's creating
Pathetic harmless victims
Left to die
Rancid Angel of Death
Flying free
[LEADS: HANNEMAN, KING, HANNEMAN, KING, HANNEMAN]
Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of Death
Here's a few off the top of my head!
Sooo many others, but this is good starter list. Fair warning: I have not read these with an eye as to what would be appropriate in a Christian environment. I am fairly certain that Stitches, Maus, and Locke and Key are all "safe."
Edit: Eff it here are some more.
You have already mentioned all of my other would be suggestions. :)
Maus
It already exists!:

MAUS (I and II)
Persepolis and Maus seem to be safe choices, even for people who don't normally read or those who usually skip graphic novels.
Buying a book is not about obtaining a possession, but securing a portal.
Maus is one I've been looking for around my town. I'm super interested in the Holocaust and the fact they made a graphic novel using mice is super cool!!
That's awesome... I had few interesting books assigned in HS. I think Beowulf and Slaughterhouse Five were the two that I really enjoyed. I had a 20th Century Lit class in college that assigned the first volume of Art Spiegelman's Maus. That's a great choice for a literary graphic novel, too, if you ever seek to mix it up.
From Hell by Alan Moore
Maus by Art Spiegelman

Also, Maus, not as old as American Splendor, but a terrific read
Not sure you're going to find anything better than Watchmen. However here are a few thoughts...
I heard today that all good stories should ask the question "who am I"? All 4 stories I have recommended do that.
Here's a list of my personal favorites:
Is it Maus?
Great graphic novel i read when i was younger

Ever read Maus? Utterly gripping drama in the form of comic where all the characters are innocent-looking cartoon animals. I haven't read anything by this guy, but I did read a comic about a Palestinian being interrogated in Israel that was really good.
Maus, Fax from Sarajevo, Persepolis, A Contract with God: And Other Tenement Stories.
Those Comic book writers/artists voiced themselves!
EDIT: Might as well.

Not really a non-fiction book, more of a biographical/memoir/graphic novel, but still interesting and worthwhile: Maus I and Maus II.
(Author interviews his jewish father about his experiences before, during and after WWII and re-tells the story using animals symbolically. For example: Jews are depicted as mice, Nazis are depicted as cats.)
I bought Maus: A Survivor's Tale 1/5/2007.
Maus is the best Holocaust "book" I've ever read. It's actually a graphic novel, but it's a lot more insightful than most traditional books I've read on the subject.
Yep. 1986, in fact.
Though, it actually started out in a serialized format 16 years prior, too.
lol, comics are just pictures and words. there are plenty of non-fiction comics in the world
by discounting the medium you are making yourself sound ignorant. you should probably buy what i linked you to, it could save your intellect.
also, you didn't address my comment about pitting two (real or perceived) groups against one another.
