Blankets

by Craig Thompson
Contribution by: Craig Thompson

Top Shelf Productions | August 5, 2003 | Trade Paperback

At 592 pages, Blankets may well be the single largest graphic novel ever published without being serialized first. 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 from Craig Thompson. The New Printing corrects 3 small typos, widening the spine graphics, but otherwise is identical to the first printing.

    painfully sincere and beautiful

    I read this book when it first came out and was enthralled. I've since owned it about 7 times because everyone I lend it to "loses" it. It's the authors autobiography about growing up in a bible belt community, wrestling with his faith and desire to be an artist, his first love, and childhood demons.

    The artwork is fantastic and will interest even those that can't stand comics. The imagery and symbolism is superb. It will make you laugh and cry. It has a sound track. It's amazing.
