It seems that comics are getting a lot of attention—and acclaim—as serious works these days.

Papercuts takes a look at graphic novels and the movies in this review of Marjane Satrapi’s well-loved and steadily growing body of work. Her latest book, Chicken With Plums, is praised for Satrapi’s “warm humanity and compassion, her free-wheeling wit and her sensitivity to insurmountable frustration and unredeemed happiness.”

Check out the discussion on Papercuts and find your own copies of The Complete Persepolis, Embroideries, and Chicken With Plums here at Pantheon.

Plus, did you notice? Persepolis, the animated film, is now out on DVD!
