For all of them, First Second offers a new edition of our graphic novel tale of the Prince of Persia, which Booklist describes (in a starred review) as “a book that’s even better with repeat readings.” Here is the story behind the games, the legend, and the man—a tale of magic and destiny.

Arists LeUyen Pham and Alex Puvilland create vivid scenes against a stunning background of ruins, lush gardens, and desert landscapes in Prince of Persia. Inspired by the popular video game as well as The Arabian Nights, the graphic novel follows two princes living centuries apart whose lives nonetheless intersect: they live in exile, fight epic battles, and, of course, rescue a princess. In their transformations from the video game to the graphic novel, each character was revised multiple times. Some were discarded, like Farah, the female warrior, and others were refined, like Prince Guiv.
Take a look at how the authors transformed the Prince of Persia characters from their early sketches (click each image below to see the final sketch).
Farah is a young warrior who is the model for the 9th century princess, Guilan. | Originally an Arabian Nights character, this dancer became the 13th century princess, Shirin. | This sketch of Guiv combines the prince of the video game with the prince of the graphic novel. |
