A couple of years ago I bought the first Rostam comic book by Bruce Bahmani and Robert Napton which featured the most famous story of Persian folklore "Rostam & Sohrab". I was duly impressed and was coaxed by my kids to repeatedly read the story to them over and over again. They loved it and always asked me when they could hear another story from the Shahnameh.
Well its here and we were not disappointed. I would say that the second book is in fact even better than the first. The book covers the story of how Kai-Kavous meets and falls in love with Soodabeh. Soodabeh's father (the King of Hamavaran) is incensed by this match up and it eventually leads to war between the two kingdoms. Afrasiab is of course scheming in the background and takes advantage of Kai-Kavous' weakness and tries to take over his throne. In addition, he arranges for Turaj to assassinate Rostam. All of this packed into 32 pages! The illustrations and colorings are superb and the story is fantastic. Another winner! I will be reading this story to my kids for the next several months. I look forward to the next book in the series!
