In my youth, I was a comics book buff. I had almost all the Cerebus single issues, I had all The Sandman issues - besides the #1 - but I had them all in signed hard-cover copies, and I loved works like Sin City, Stray Bullets, and so on ad infinitum. I even worked in a comics book store for over a year.

Last year I read Persepolis, which is a great graphic novel set partly in Iran, partly in Austria. If you haven’t read it, or other works by Marjane Satrapi, I suggest you give it a shot.

Today, via, I learned that there is a Persepolis movie on it’s way. Here is the trailer, in french.

I am really looking forward to this. I have, in general, a love/hate relationship with movie adaptions of comic books. I really liked Sin City, 300 was so-so, and then you have all the movies like Spawn ..

I really hope Persepolis gets a good Danish distribution.

By the way, here is a vlog post I did in early 2005 about comics. Oh, and Marjane Satrapi has a blog, and on their MySpace page they have videos.
