Anyone read Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi (Pantheon
Books, June 2003)? Iranian Marxist-leaning stuff.

Panel from it here:

And from a webpage about the graphic novel:

The "graphic memoir"- a memoir in comic strips - tells
the story of the author's life growing up in Iran in
the 1970s and 80s. Satrapi was the daughter of Marxist
intellectuals, and the great-granddaughter of Iran's
last emperor, and the story she tells is the really
powerful story of what it was like, from a child's
perspective, to grow up in Iran during the Islamic
Revolution and the war with Iraq. She lives in Paris,
France. Persepolis was first published to wide acclaim
in France, where it won several prestigeous comic-book
awards. It has been translated into five other
languages.
