About the series
Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, first collected by Pantheon in 2004, is an autobiographical graphic novel that recounts her childhood and early adult years in Iran during and after the Islamic Revolution. Told through stark, expressive black-and-white illustrations, Satrapi's story offers a deeply personal and humanizing perspective on a period of profound political and social upheaval. As a landmark work of memoir in the comics medium, it remains a vital, accessible entry point for readers exploring the intersection of history, identity, and visual storytelling.
