Coming in July:
CRAIG THOMPSON'S 'BLANKETS'
CRAIG THOMPSON'S 'BLANKETS'
![]() | From the author of the critically-acclaimed and best-selling graphic novel, Good-bye, Chunky Rice comes Craig Thompson's all-new masterpiece. Clocking in at 592 pages, BLANKETS may well be the single most anticipated graphic novel of the year. 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.
'Good-Bye, Chunky Rice' is one of my favorite graphic novels. Craig Thompson's art and storytelling are among the best I've found in the medium of comics. And more importantly, I'm not using hyperbole. He's garnering praise you wouldn't believe from the likes of Brian Michael Bendis and Neil Gaiman, and I have virtually no doubt in my mind that it is well deserved. GO HERE for a PREVIEW and when you're done if you have the time read the extensive picture-filled review on Kevin Smith's Movie Poop Shoot here. And come July, buy, borrow, steal... just read 'Blankets'. |
