Blankets: A Graphic Novel

by Craig Thompson

First UK publication for this modern classic

'It's beautifully written and drawn, it's very poetic and very romantic. I highly recommend it.' ELENA FAVILLI

'Moving, tender, beautifully drawn, painfully honest and probably the most important graphic novel since Jimmy Corrigan.' NEIL GAIMAN

'Blankets is a classic in every genre it touches.' STEPHEN CHBOSKY, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

'One of the greatest love stories ever written and surely the best ever drawn.' JOSS WHEDON

Wrapped in the snowfall of a blustery Midwestern winter, Blankets is the tale of two brothers growing up in rural isolation, and of the budding romance between two young lovers. A tale of security and discovery, of playfulness and tragedy, of a fall from grace and the origins of faith, Blankets is a profound and utterly beautiful work.

And that's my comfort... that someone else was there and experienced the same thing. How else could I know it was real and not merely a dream?

Ugh, this graphic novel was so compelling but so painful (in a good way) to finish. Made my heart hurt but so well done! :(

Hmmm I’m changing my rating to 4 stars... I guess I just didn’t love a certain part of the book but no way is it 3 stars!

It's semi-autobiographical and talks about love and loss and religion and growing up and it's a lovely read.
