20th Anniversary Edition

"It's beautifully written and drawn, it's very poetic and very romantic. I highly recommend it." - Elena Favilli

"Moving, tender, beautifully drawn, painfully honest and probably the most important graphic novel since Jimmy Corrigan." - Neil Gaiman

Blankets is a classic in every genre it touches." - Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

"One of the greatest love stories ever written and surely the best ever drawn." - Joss Whedon

Wrapped in the snowfall of a blustery Midwestern winter, Blankets is the tale of two brothers growing up in rural isolation, and of the budding romance between two young lovers. A tale of security and discovery, of playfulness and tragedy, of a fall from grace and the origins of faith, Blankets is a profound and utterly beautiful work.
