Blankets is a classic now and one I’d never got around to reading, but I’m glad I finally did. The semi-autobiographical story explores family, faith, abuse, growing up, being an outsider and experiencing young love. The narration and dialogue style is straightforward but the story writing gives it interesting flow back and forth between Craig’s childhood and teenage years. The art is beautiful and easy to follow and every once in a while he brings in a different style to effectively make a panel or page stand out.
