Just finished Blankets, a graphic novel by Craig Thompson. It reviewed very well, in fact, one of the cover blurbs is from a Pulitzer Prize winner. It's a single work of almost 600 pages -- unlike many graphic novels that are published first as a series of comic books -- that tells a beautifully bittersweet story. I highly recommend it, especially if you've never tried out comics that are written for adults. It's an art form that, in the right hands, is a beautiful vehicle for story telling on the adult level.
