Nonetheless, they're both great. Persepolis it's a masterpiece, probably not at the level of Maus, but very close in depicting a great historical picture. It's art.
Now, given that we can't talk 'bout the novel's argument, we could talk 'bout the style.
Persepolis is on the same line with Maus: they both use a biographical point of view, to narrate historical facts... they render history a personal fact, and they give us a subjective reading: the facts are presented with the feelings of the observer, there's no thing such an "objective" PoV.
