About the series
Persepolis, launched in 2010 by Cobolt, is a deeply personal and politically charged graphic memoir series that chronicles author Marjane Satrapi's childhood and young adulthood in Iran during and after the Islamic Revolution. Told through stark, expressive black-and-white art, the series offers an intimate, human-scale view of life under a repressive regime, exploring themes of identity, rebellion, and exile. Its unflinching honesty and unique perspective made it a landmark work in autobiographical comics, resonating far beyond its original French publication.
