![]() ![]() ![]() Dodola is nine years older than the baby Zam, so she mothers him, nurtures him and teaches him. The story tracks the lives of Dodola and Zam, two orphans who escape the slave trade and create a home for themselves in a boat they discover, stuck in the middle of a desert. Beautiful, thought provoking, both timeless and of its time, it’s barely possible to even begin to describe it (but don’t worry, I’ll give it a go). This is no ordinary comic, it is a complete work of art. It’s a modern literary triumph, a book so broad and magical in its scope, only a master could pull it off. However, Craig Thompson is back with a new book, and no matter how hard you wished for it, the 672-page epic that is Habibi can’t fail to delight. ![]() Seven years is a long, long time to disappear from the public eye, especially after such enormous critical acclaim. Over the last seven years it could have been all too easy to mourn the loss of Craig Thompson, the writer and illustrator of the brilliant Good-bye, Chunky Rice and Blankets. ![]()
