Habibi

A lyrical, ongoing graphic novel from Pantheon, Habibi is the solo work of acclaimed creator Craig Thompson, best known for Blankets. Set in a fictional Middle Eastern landscape, the story weaves together the lives of two escaped child slaves, Dodola and Zam, exploring themes of love, faith, and storytelling through an intricate, ornate visual style. Though only a single issue has been released to date, its profound narrative and breathtaking art have already marked it as a landmark work in contemporary graphic literature.
