Persepolis

Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis is a landmark graphic memoir originally published in French in the early 2000s, but this Romanian edition from Editura Art collects the complete story in a single volume. The series recounts Satrapi’s childhood and young adulthood in Iran during and after the Islamic Revolution, blending personal experience with political history. Its stark black-and-white art and unflinching honesty made it a touchstone for the medium, demonstrating how comics can capture intimate, real-world narratives.
