The holidays are here, and iFanboy is here to help you with your shopping; at least when it comes to the best comic book gifts.

Comic Gifts: Horror, Crime, Pop Culture, and L. Frank Baum

Are you looking for a good horror comics anthology? Check out Split Lip from writer Sam Costello, for eleven original chilling short horror stories.

British Indie comics were defined in the 90's by Jamie Hewlett's Tank Girl, and now Titan Books have repackaged the series in new editions. Check out Tank Girl vol. 1. Again, it's much better than the movie.

Vertigo is releasing a bunch of original crime graphic novels. The best of the bunch so far is Brian Azzarello's Filthy Rich, about a down and out former football player, who gets mixed up in the wrong part of high society.

If we're talking about crime, you cannot miss the Criminal Omnibus from Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. This stunning hardcover collects all of the first wave of stories in their excellent series.

Scott Kurtz has been doing his strip, PvP on the web for over ten years, and this huge Awesomology collects all of them. This huge slipcased volume is impressive and imposing. Watch the development of one the most biggest webcomics there is, but off the web.

Eric Shanower and Skottie Young team up to deliver The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a graphic novel adaptation of L. Frank Baum's classic story. Young's art has never been more vibrant or creative, and this one makes a great and unexpected gift.

Do you know someone who is looking for the best possible X-Men story out there, in the biggest most impressive format available? Look no further than the Astonishing X-Men Omnibus, collecting the entire legendary run of Joss Whedon and John Cassaday.

What holiday gift list would be complete without a Christmas story? Check out Alex Robinson's adaptation of another L. Frank Baum story, A Kidnapped Santa Claus, which is also iFanboy's December Book of the Month.
