Marjane Satrapi - Persepolis
This work holds a strong theme of political unrest and
social problems. The simplification in her drawings is awesome. The use of high
contrast graphic images is really effective. The use of exclusively black and white
holds symbolism in itself in that the message she is trying to deliver is very
clear; there is no grey area to what she is saying in this work, especially in
themes that pertain strongly to Eastern cultures.

First off, this comic blew my mind in terms of imagery, color, composition and the surrealism is beautiful. The brothers that created
this piece were truly masterful, not only in imagery but also in the story line
itself. The happenings in life no matter how large are small are shown in this
comic. Scenes of life changing events such as new prospects juxtaposed with
events like fights with a girlfriend, or simple appreciation of nature, really
help to give the piece depth and create a truly immersive environment for the
reader to explore. The stylization of the drawing is simple, yet highly
descriptive; the particular message being communicated comes through strongly.
This work will certainly influence my own pieces.
