    Craig Thompson is my favorite comics Writer/Artist because he is one of the few people who uses the medium to the fullest extent. You cannot have his word with out the images and nor can you have his images without his words.

    If you liked Blankets, you might also try Thompson's next book: Carnet de Voyage. It's a graphic journal of his promotion tour for Blankets.
