After that “mind blowing read”, the little bias in my mind against comics got blown away, I decided to pick up another comic, Persepolis, the story of a little girl growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution and the war with Iraq.
Heart warming and touching stuff. Not just a personal (and often humourous) perspective on Iran’s recent history and culture, but an exploration of a psyche of a little girl growing up and experiencing love, rebellion, hero-worship, pop culture in a repressive environment.
I was reading that one at Kino. (Heheheh.) It was a very good comic, but, hotdamn, it’s 40 bucks!

I’ve never been able to get my hands on this book (even though I work in the library). Goes to show how popular this one is. Have to ask to order more copies.
There’s also Persepolis 2, but not in the library as of this comment.
There’s
