Rostam, Tales from the Shahnameh (Persian book of Kings)

Adapted from the rich verse of Ferdowsi the famous Persian poet, the epic tales of valor, bravery, and devotion are for the first time adapted to the American comic genre. Rostam is the hero-champion of a mythical land of Iran. Dedicated to protecting her throne from all invaders and usurpers. Rostam faces outer threats as well as his own inner demons, a glimpse of our own humanity. In the first installment in what we hope will be a long lasting series, Rostam must face the newest threat to the throne of Iran, the mighty and younger Sohrab.
