When the Wind Blows #[nn]

This standalone graphic novel by Raymond Briggs presents a poignant and harrowing story of an elderly British couple, Jim and Hilda Bloggs, as they attempt to follow government instructions to survive a nuclear attack. Through a stark contrast between the couple's mundane, cheerful dialogue and the devastating reality of their situation, Briggs crafts a powerful anti-war statement. Originally published in 1982 by Hamish Hamilton, this single-volume work is a complete, self-contained narrative rather than a collected edition of a series.
