Why buy theatre tickets when you can experience a heady mix of fear and sorrow from the comfort of your own home? If you need a good sob, here are ten devastating graphic novels that will make you ugly cry, or your money back.

Persepolis
(Pantheon)Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi is the author’s autobiographical story of her experiences growing up in Iran during and after the Islamic Revolution. Gorgeously rendered in somber black and white, this graphic novel paints a picture of Iran in the late 70’s – a nation gripped in the throws of turbulent theocratic reform. For a young woman like Maryjane at the time, the event was especially troubling – women across Iran bore the brunt of social change, and found their rights limited in their professional and personal lives. Coupled with the nation’s budding war with Iraq, these circumstances created profound challenges for teens like Marjane – her entire life was altered within the course of a few years. It’s an emotionally difficult read, a portrait of a young woman shouldering the weight of a culture at war with itself and others – not even Atlas could carry that burden.
