Persepolis.....Persia.....Iran.....Islam....all through the eyes of a child


I know nothing about Iran...and neither do you. This will provide an interesting snap shot of life in Iran just before and after the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Stereotypes are nicely smashed here. The cartoonist's childhood is unlike anyone's you probably know. This is on the Grade 10 currciuclum though I am not sure how students would react to its content. I guess I will just give it to one or two to read and see what they think. I love that she listened to Kim Wilde and Iron Maiden at about the same time I did. 

Dead @17...Maybe I was tricked by the pointy...


So if you like teenage girls, monsters, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, skaters, and axes...this may be for you. I think I was tricked into thinking it was good because the comic girls are super cute. Ah well. 

Straight off the Farm....

If you are a fan of Fables, read more Fables. this is ok, but pales in comparison to one of the comic book world's greatest creations--Fables

Fell...one of the gems of my collection


This is a great book. Mine is Volume 1:Feral City. Which begs the question, "Was there a Volume 2?" I'll be back in a second. And sadly nope. You should read this if you like detectives and cool comic book art. The weirdness reminds me a little bit about the film Seven.
