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-issued civil defense pamphlets in the aftermath of a nuclear attack. Originally published in 1982, this 2005 Penguin edition collects the full narrative, which contrasts the couple's mundane, cheerful routines with the devastating reality of nuclear war. The book is a stark, emotionally resonant work that uses Briggs's signature detailed illustration style to deliver a powerful anti-war statement.
