Habibi by Craig Thompson

5.0

Quite simply an amazing read. Painstakingly drawn with a richness and attention to detail that makes me wonder about this guys sanity and social life. And the story is also rich, a moving love story of two orphans, forced into to slavery intertwined with overlapping stories from Islamic and Christian texts with very interesting breakdowns and historic slices of Islamic science, script, calligraphy and mythology.

A recurring theme throughout the novel is humankinds neglect for earth and nature and I read, how we have abandoned God and in turn have abandoned earth and the environment. Worthy of purchase and several re-readings!
