Blankets: A Graphic Novel of Love, Loss, and Discovery

 

Blankets is a graphic novel by Craig Thompson, spanning 624 pages in black and white. Set in the United States, this love story has garnered several international awards in the graphic novel and comics industry.

Insightful Isolation: Guy Delisle's Burma Chronicles

 Guy Delisle's Burma Chronicles is an exceptionally insightful graphic novel about contemporary Burma/Myanmar. This 272-page black-and-white comic explores a country known for using concealment and isolation as tools of social control. In Burma, scissor-wielding censors monitor the media, the de facto opposition leader has been under house arrest for years, insurgent-controlled areas are cut off from the outside world, and rumors serve as the most reliable source of information. Delisle is at his most compelling and endearing in this work.
