Persepolis
This pass summer I noticed a graphic novel called Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood at a local book store and was intrigued by the story and art -- it was drawn in black and white. I was unsure how much I would like the graphic novel but decided to buy it nevertheless. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed both the story and art. I am a great fan of black and white medium (art, comics, photos, movies) and Marjane's black and white art did not disappoint me. In Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi writes and draws her life as a young girl who grew up in Iran just before, during and after the Iranian Revolution as well as the Iran-Iraq war.
The movie, based on Persepolis and Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return, is now in limited release...
