Zahhak: The Legend of the Serpent King, created by Iranian award-winning artist and filmmaker Hamid Rahmanian and Meggendorfer Prize winning Paper Engineer Simon Arizpe, is an impressive pop-up book like you've never seen before. It retells the Persian tale of Prince Zahhak who was easily convinced by the devil (Angra Mainyu) to murder his father King Merdas and take over the throne. Zahhak, meaning 'he who has horses', would rule the kingdom with his army for a violent and bloodthirsty 1000 years.
