I was eagerly awaiting Bruce Bahhami’s fourth part to his Rostam: Tales of the Shanameh which arrived by post today. I excitedly ripped open the envelope and tore off the shrink wrap. I opened the comic to find an introduction by Reza Aslan, “Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of BoomGen Studios”. I am appalled that I have paid good money to any company associated with Reza Aslan, supporter of Hezbollah and author of a recent article praising non other than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. I was surprised that Aslan would be involved in any creative aspect of the comic and my small investigation has revealed that the aforementioned BoomGem has acquired Hyperworks – the original publishers of the comic

There is also no acknowledgement to Bahnami as author anywhere in the comic book.
Please boycott this comic and any books from BoomGen or any company associated with Reza Aslan. Giving Aslan the “American Muslim” money is like money given to the Islamic Republic,
