Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi: Marjane Satrapi was just a child during the Iranian Revolution, and her acclaimed memoir reveals what it was like to be a young girl in a country rife with danger and upheaval. In addition to being a funny, bittersweet memoir (the narrative covers her teen years and early adulthood), it’s also a straightforward primer on the country’s history.The list has several gems, including some Eisner, some Peker, and of course some Spiegelman. Then there are a few I've never even heard of, like Alison Bechdel's Fun Home. Hmm, time to make a trip to the library.
Anywho, take a look at the rest of ITS's list here on their blog. And go read Persepolis, if you haven't yet. It's amazing. At least go watch the movie, it's almost as good.
