Rostam: Tales from the Shahnameh

Rostam: Tales From The Shahnameh was founded by Bruce Bahmani, Cameron Douraghy and Jamie Douraghy in 2003, and is mostly noted for its Rostam comic book series. These books are published by the independent publisher Hyperwerks.

The Shahnameh was a source of inspiration for both J.R.R. Tolkien (Lord of the Rings) and C.S. Lewis (Chronicles of Narnia). Soon after it's launch, the "Rostam: Tales from the Shahnameh" Comic Books adapted from Ferdowsi’s immortal epic, received international recognition by winning a Golden Lioness Award from WAALM (World Academy of Arts Media & Literature) in Budapest, Hungary (2006).
