Craig Thompson is set to be the biggest thing since Chris Ware. Time magazine praised his autobiographical epic Blankets as 'a rarity: a first-love story so well remembered and honest that it reminds you what falling in love feels like ... achingly beautiful'. David B. put himself at the forefront of the autobiographical comic book movement with the completion of his 300-page masterpiece Epileptic (to be published in the UK in 2005) about the impact on his childhood and family of his elder brother's disease. As teacher of Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis) his influence is wide-ranging and ever more apparent.
