Interview von Ingo Hasewend (links) mit Jordan Mechner (rechts), dahinter auf einer Leinwand eine Doppelseite aus "Replay", die sich mit der Entstehung von Mechners richtungsweisendem Computerspiel "Prince of Persia" beschรคftigt.
Cover von "Replay - Erinnerungen einer entwurzelten Familie" von Jordan Mechner (Vermes Verlag).
Erste Seite aus "Replay". Gezeigt wird Hitlers Triumphzug durch Wien im Zuge das Anschlusses รsterreichs an das Deutsche Reich 1938, vorbei am Haus, in dem Mechners Groรeltern lebten. รberschrift: "1938 wollte mein Groรvater nur noch eins: Raus aus รsterreich. " Aus einem Fenster in den oberen Stockwerken kommt eine Sprechblase (Mechners Vater als kleiner Bub): "Papa, komm schau!"
Gestern Abend war im Jรผdischen Museum Wien eine sehr feine Buchprรคsentation von "Replay" von @jmechner.bsky.social (Vermes Verlag).
Sehr empfehlenswerte Graphic Novel fรผr alle, die sich fรผr Computerspielgeschichte (Prince of Persia) und die Shoah interessieren.

I just returned from an unforgettable week in Vienna, presenting my graphic novel memoir REPLAY in the city the Mechner family is from (my dad and grandparents escaped as refugees in 1938). ๐You can find the book here: ๐บ๐ธ๐ฌ๐ง๐ซ๐ท๐ช๐ธ๐ง๐ท๐ฉ๐ช www.jordanmechner.com/en/books/rep...
I love this! I showed it to my dad (now age 94) and he was thrilled and amazed to see the music he composed in 1989 interpreted in this way.๐โค๏ธ

the journals are a must-read
Wow!! I love this โค๏ธโค๏ธ These look like they could be illustrations from Shahnameh or Samak the Ayyar.. but on closer look, it's a slightly less ancient tale from the 1980s : Prince of Persia! Beautiful work by Aynaz Najafi.
Quite the chart

An epic modern saga of love, betrayal, corruption, revenge and redemption!

I did this watercolor for a Galerie Maeght show in Paris last February, based on a rough sketch in my sketchbook, and my memory of the scene, which touched me for many reasons.
no way... they charge eight bucks for a coffee, and there's a line! Hemingway wouldn't have stood for it
Paris sketchbook, January 2018. Can anyone guess the cafรฉ? (Hint: quai of the Seine is just the other side of those trees)
It was cool to see the author of Prince of Persia here on Bluesky. I was even more surprised he also made Karateka. I mentioned Karateka in a school essay when I was seven years old.
Woo-hoo! Congrats !!๐๐๐น๏ธ

๐ฅ Timing and precision were everything
๐ Based on Karateka by @jmechner.bsky.social. You can already feel the ideas that later shaped Prince of Persia.
