Another first Sunday means another session of Comic Book Club.

I won’t always have a Haul post to accompany Comic Book Club, but this past Wednesday, there was a comic that I considered buying but decided against – the first issue of the story we discussed last month – and one that I realized after that I had missed.

So, since I was out in the world anyway, I decided to swing by the comic shop and rectify that, and then I grabbed something else that caught my eye.

I’ll leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine which is which.

The comic for today’s discussion was Persepolis, which is a comic I’ve long meant to get around to reading, and then felt even more pressure to read after author Marjane Satrapi’s unfortunate passing, and then finally decided to actually read once it was revealed that, in honor of her passing, it would be the next comic to discuss.

When I got home from last month’s session, I ordered a copy of it via Amazon, though it was a listing from another seller, and did not ship via Amazon.

I was given an expected delivery date of June 25th, which was cutting it close, but still gave me time. When it shipped within a day or two of ordering, I thought that perhaps it would arrive sooner, but the expected delivery date did not change.

Not did it change after the expected delivery date came and went. It still hasn’t changed, though there is an admission that the date has slipped. Though I was provided a tracking number, there is no detailed tracking information via Amazon, and there doesn’t appear to be anywhere I can actually use the tracking number to look for information on the site of the company that shipped it.

While that part remains unfortunate, it’s fortunate that Persepolis is available to read online at the Internet Archive, so while I didn’t have my own copy to bring along to the discussion, I did at least get to read it.
