Blankets by written and illustrated by Craig Thompson is an autobiographical story that recounts Craig's memories of growing up in Wisconsin from his childhood beginnings to adulthood. As he is explaining his journey, he goes into detail about his experiences living with his younger brother Phil along with his parents in a religious household, going to school, dealing with different social dynamics, searching out a career, navigating his first serious relationship, and finding his own path as a young adult. Blankets would go on to be recognized for winning several Eisner and Harvey awards in addition to being regarded as number one on Time Magazine's best comics of 2003 list, and in the top eight of their best comics of the decade. We highly recommend checking out this original graphic novel and seeking out why Craig Thompson's story is still worth discovering today.
