Blankets. An Illustrated Novel. First edition, with a colour art print signed by the author (180 x 135 mm) loosely inserted. This is one of 500 copies sold at conventions in July 2003, preceding the trade edition released in August. An autobiographical graphic novel, it explores the author's relationship with evangelical Christianity."Blankets received eight prizes within the comics industry, including multiple Harvey and Eisner awards in 2004... This momentum pushed Blankets out of the comic book field and into bookstores, and it eventually received international recognition. Blankets was one more example of how graphic autobiographical stories fascinated trade book readers" (Cambridge Companion to the Graphic Novel, p. 52).Thompson uses different variants of his signature for books and art; the signature here is the variant most commonly seen on his art.
