Few graphic novles have had the impact that Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis have had all over the world. Maus by Art Spiegelman comes to mind, but the list is short. Now someone has used the images from Persepolis to comment on the current situation in Iran, calling it Persepolis 2.0. This isn't authorised by Satrapi as far as I know, but it is interesting to see a comic reused for political purposes, and it is clearly for a good cause.
