In an industry in which female artists can still be counted on the fingers of a yakuza’s hand, her deceptively simple and acutely observed black and white memoirs deserve a wide audience – Dominic Wells * The Times *Like Maus, Persepolis is one of those comic books capable of seducing even those most allergic to the genre… The author’s masterstroke is to allow us to experience history from within her family, with irony and tenderness. * Liberation *I cannot praise enough Marjane Satrapi’s moving account of growing up as a spirited young girl in revolutionary and war-time Iran. Persepolis is disarming and often humorous but ultimately it is shattering. – Joe Sacco
