Persepolis

Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis—originally a landmark autobiographical graphic novel—returns in a new edition from Edition Moderne beginning in 2021. Satrapi herself illustrates this ongoing series, which recounts her childhood in Iran during the Islamic Revolution and her teenage years in Europe, capturing a deeply personal history with stark, expressive black-and-white art. As a foundational work of the graphic memoir genre, this series remains essential for its unflinching look at identity, politics, and resilience.
