MARVEL COMICS
With new enemies, new friends … and that same old ‘grinning in the face of hell’ attitude, the Man Without Fear is back in action and leading with his face.

If Matt Murdock could see what he was doing … he’d be terrified.

Wrapped in the landscape of a blustery Wisconsin winter, Blankets explores the sibling rivalry of two brothers growing up in the isolated country, and the budding romance of two coming-of-age lovers. A tale of security and discovery, of playfulness and tragedy, of a fall from grace and the origins of faith. A profound and utterly beautiful work.
