Persepolis 2.0 is a 2009 online graphic novel created by Iranian-born artists Payman and Sina whose main subjects are the recent re-elections of conservative Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the social turmoil that followed it. The novel uses previously published graphic material by Marjane Satrapi and is ten pages long.
In an interview with Agence France-Presse, the pseudonymous authors said, "Marjane’s images describe events from 30 years ago yet they mirror the postelection events so well."[1]
