La novela gráfica Persepolis de Marjane Satrapi está lejos de ser un simple relato del paso a la edad adulta. La obra autobiográfica, proyectada en un país de clima sociopolítico hostil, cuenta la historia de una joven que crece en el Irán revolucionario, un lugar donde las detenciones y la tortura son hechos habituales. La novela gráfica Maus, de Art Spiegelman, narra la historia del Holocausto vista a través de los ojos del personaje principal, Vladek, que yuxtapone los detalles de la vida cotidiana a la enormidad de la experiencia. Este artículo analiza el contexto social, histórico y cultural que condujo a la revolución iraní y a la guerra Irak-Irán, por una parte, y al mayor exterminio de los judíos de la historia, por otra. Ilustra cómo las mentiras, las ideas falsas y las acciones letales pueden ser justificadas por virtudes o supuestas buenas intenciones.
