Blankets, by Craig Thomson
I loved this.
While it is clearly a comics book, it describes itself as an illustrated novel -and while it isn’t, it somehow is. This is perhaps because WHEN YOU HAVE READ IT, the intensity of the experience is enormous, you feel as if everything has been explained and analysed clearly. Its a full treat. The drawings are marvellous, very expressive and delicate. The whole thing is so personal too.
Just go buy it, especially if you are a guy.
