When Comics Attack nothing is left to chance. Humor, action, sorrow, and nadshots are but a few of the tools in your tool belt to illicit thought. But what happens when comics get political?
Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis was a graphic novel long before it became a movie. We have yet to experience either media. Persepolis is about “a young woman growing up in a changing Iran.” Given the current Iran election turmoil, it seemed the least we could do was bring the book back into the public eye.
…amidst the current chaos surrounding the Iranian election results, Satrapi stood alonside Mohsen Makhmalbaf, filmmaker and spokesman for opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, at the European Parliament to protest the results, with a document claiming to throw serious doubt on the numbers.
A new comic is sure to follow. Looks like we have some reading and netflixing to do.

People should read this to understand that the Iranians are as suppressed as most of us are.
And they don't hate the west as the TV makes us believe. Their people are like some of us Malaysians who love to listen to punk rock and heavy metal.
