Description
Best known for such classic children's picture books as The Snowman, British cartoonist Raymond Briggs played a major role in lending literary credibility to the comic book format in the United Kingdom. After doing several children's books in comic format, he lent his open, gentle style to a series of more adult tales dealing with working-class English life. Sadly, his most significant graphic work, the anti-nuclear war When the Wind Blows, is out of print. Like The Snowman, it was made into an animated film. Start with: The Snowman (Younger Kids); Ethel and Ernest (Adults)
