Persepolis is a classroom staple, a feminist manifesto, and one of the most beloved graphic novels of all time. For the first time in hardcover, a stunning twentieth-anniversary complete edition is available now, with a new introduction by the author Marjane Satrapi that examines the Iranian political landscape in the context of global politics.
