As a title that has continued to be a subject of controversy, it is worth highlighting the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund’s resources on Persepolis.

adventurous challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

It's books like this that make it evermore apparent that an American "education" is incomplete at best. I didn't know 95% of the events Satrapi described, yet she presented her story in great detail, but in a way that was easy to follow and understand. She is a wonderful storyteller and provides rich details. And her artwork is both simple and evocative. I really enjoyed this graphic novel collection!
