Habibi by Craig Thompson

A sprawling epic of nearly 700 pages, Craig Thompson's Habibi is the story of two slave children whose love for each other overcomes endless challenges. Set against a backdrop that combines the historical narratives of Islam, Judaism and Christianity with threaded commentary on sexuality, Habibi will most surely become a classic among graphic novels.
