abstract in English:	The article focuses on the representations of Zoroastrianism - an ancient religion originating from Iran that has survived until the present day - in comics. The religion is rarely represented in popular culture, including comics, and the article will reflect on two of the most important examples: Zarathushtra (1974) and Silent Was Zarathustra (2014). The article provides an analysis of the texts and their message and explores how Zoroastriansim is represented in the chosen comics from a comparative perspective, reflecting on the social context of respectively Indian and French production that shaped the two publications, as well as their reception.
