Blankets
Ursprünglich hochgeladen von pureple

Blankets is a autobiographic story about coming of age, alienation, anxiety, pursuit of spiritual identity, teen-angst and of course the first love:)
Craig Thompson, one of my favorite comic-artist, switches between the story of his first love and little stories of his childhood.

It`s one of the loveliest stories I`ve ever read, and one of the beautifullest way to display.



When you first come into physical contact with this book, taking this brick-sized 600 page monster into your hands and cracking open the covers - the heft alone should tell you that this is no ordinary graphic-novel/comic-book. A few pages into this book and you'll immediately be hooked. Your fingers will flip through page after page and before you know it you'll already have consumed several hundred pages.

Oh, and whether you wonder why it`s called "Blankets"...well..in this case, you have to read it;)
