**Winner of the Eisner, Harvey, and Ignatz Awards for Best Graphic Novel and Best Cartoonist.**  "A rarity: a first-love story so well remembered and honest that it reminds you what falling in love feels like … achingly beautiful." - - **//Time// Magazine**

"//Blankets// is a great American novel. -- **Andrew D. Arnold, //Time.com//**

"Thompson manages to explore adolescent social yearnings, the power of young love and the complexities of sexual attraction with a rare combination of sincerity, pictorial lyricism and taste." -- **//Publishers Weekly//**

"I thought it was moving, tender, beautifully drawn, painfully honest, and probably the most important graphic novel since //Jimmy Corrigan//." -- **Neil Gaiman**

"This is a genuine graphic novel, with a universal appeal." -- **Gordon Flagg, //Booklist//**

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. -- **592 pages**
