One of my Intro to Narrative students talked about Craig Thompson's Blankets alongside Jimmy Corrigan and Maus in their final-exam essay on Persepolis, so I ordered it from Amazon and gave it a look. It's pretty great, all about brothers and religion and art and young love. Like Maus and Persepolis (and Epileptic, as well), Blankets is straight-up autobiography, and it absolutely deserves to be mentioned alongside those other, classic comics.

It's really good, is what I'm saying.

You can check out some sample pages from the book at TopShelfComix and iComics, while Fear of Speed and Comicon have interviews with Thompson. DootDootGarden, Thompson's homepage, is a fun time too.
