By Craig Thompson
592 pgs., 9.4 x 6.5
From the publisher: Wrapped in the landscape of a blustery Wisconsin winter, Blankets explores the sibling rivalry of two brothers growing up in the isolated country, and the budding romance of two coming-of-age lovers. A tale of security and discovery, of playfulness and tragedy, of a fall from grace and the origins of faith. A profound and utterly beautiful work.
Winner of the Eisner, Harvey, and Ignatz Awards for BestGraphic Novel and Best Cartoonist.
"A rarity: a first-love story so well remembered and honest that it
reminds you what falling in love feels like … achingly beautiful." --
Time Magazine
"Blankets is a great American novel. --
Andrew D. Arnold, Time
"Thompson manages to explore adolescent social yearnings, the power of
young love and the complexities of sexual attraction with a rare
combination of sincerity, pictorial lyricism and taste." --
Publishers Weekly
"I thought it was moving, tender, beautifully drawn, painfully honest, and probably the most important graphic novel since Jimmy Corrigan." --
Neil Gaiman
"This is a genuine graphic novel, with a universal appeal." --
