Reviews
"I love Space Dumplins!"--Jeff Smith, creator of BONE"Craig Thompson has created a new genre: the Adorable Epic."--Joss Whedon, director and writer, The Avengers; creator of Buffy the Vampire SlayerPraise for Space Dumplins: * "With thrilling adventure, a stalwart, good-hearted hero, some well-timed laughs, and a meaningful message at its heart, this is will surely be a star."--Booklist, starred review* "It's a wild and funny escapade, undergirded by a tender portrait of a family just trying to get by."--Publishers Weekly, starred reviewPraise for Habibi: * "It is unfair to expect two masterpieces in a row from anyone, but here Thompson sits securely in that rarefied air."--Booklist, starred review* "A lushly epic love story that's both inspiring and heartbreaking... A dense, swirling dervish of a tale...this will be the most talked about graphic novel of the fall."--Publishers Weekly, starred review* "The exquisite beauty and deep magic of this Arabian Nights-style love story cannot be overstated...Habibi is certain to join the ranks of graphic novels that expand our understanding of not only the genre but also the world it describes."--School Library Journal, starred reviewPraise for Blankets: * "His visual mastery shows in fluid line work, assured compositions, and powerful use of solid black areas and negative space."--Booklist, starred review"His exceptional b&w drawings balance representational precision with a bold and wonderfully expressive line for pages of ingenious, inventively composed and poignant imagery."--Publishers Weekly"This second, much longer work shares the acuity for character development and dynamic sensitivity that makes the author so compulsively readable."--School Library Journal
