I am 22 years old now and I remember when I was child I used to hold a stick pretending that the the stick was my sword and I was the Prince. Prince of Persia 1 and 2 were part of my childhood and I must thank you for that! =)

Now I have a question:
Do you know if there is any chance this graphic novel be translate to Brazilian Portuguese?

I bought the other graphic novel last Monday. I got so thrilled that I almost cry, but boys don’t cry, so instead cry I read a second time =)

When a finish to read for the second time I was wondering if Before the Sandstorm and Solomon Thieves would be publish here in Brazil.

Thank you.

First of all, I’d like to thank you very much. I remember the first game I’ve ever beaten : the original Prince of Persia, on my dad’s old PC, circa 1990 or maybe 1991, when I was 6. Today I have no idea on how I managed to do it, but I definitively got to try it again someday. I still remember the game clearly, and how much I used to die playing it. I didn’t had any home consoles, only the PC, and it was hard to get games around here, and many didn’t had the same effect the original PoP had on me: it was ‘pretty’, got this beautiful character running around in this dark scary dungeon and so on. I was mesmerized and had much fun playing it over and over until I defeated the ‘bad guy’ and saw the character running to the princess. I’m Brazilian, and I was learning how to write by then and I couldn’t even understand English, but you managed to have this full story without words, it was somewhat universal.

Then I heard about this comic book as a prequel of the movie (which, by the way, I thought it was a good adaption of the Sands of Time ideas, even if restricted by the screentime) and did whatever I could to find it. I got to get only the first issue (I found the imported one at a used stuff sales at a subway. Yeah, that random) and started to read it. Then I first saw the prisoner he was somewhat familiar, then after a while I understood who he was. It was a great idea, I really loved it. Thank you once again
Maybe I’ll find the other issues in some other strange way, maybe I won’t. But in any case I’m now in eager to read them and I’m pretty sure it’ll be worth my quest

Good luck on your next projects!

As a Persian, I’ve always enjoyed the various incarnations of the Prince of Persia concept (from the original game to the new graphic novels, and of course now the movie).

There are a lot of really talented illustrators/comic artists in Iran who produce a lot of great work, full of authentic Persian references.

I maintain a blog in which I try to introduce some of these artists to the western world : http://300themovie.info
I’m sure you’ll enjoy some of the art posted there. Who knows, you might even want to collaborate with a few true ‘Persians’ in the future.

Cheers.
