Satrapi grew up in Tehran during the Islamic Revolution and the Iran-Iraq war. She drew her childhood in black and white because that's what it felt like — the colors of ordinary life draining away as the revolution hardened into something her parents hadn't voted for. A graphic memoir that made more people understand Iran than any diplomatic briefing. The dispatch that proved comics could carry the weight of history.
