The Gift of Comics

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 – running time 26:45

The season of giving is here, and iFanboy would be remiss if they didn't share some of the best comic book and graphic novels gifts you can give (or just buy for yourself) this holiday season.

Buying gifts is tough, but the many good publishers of comics have released a bevy of excellent volumes for gift giving this year.

Sure, everyone knows about the Watchmen movie coming out, but the best version of the comic that spawned it is Absolute Watchmen, as well as the companion piece Watching the Watchmen.

You want straight up superhero action from the best of DC? Check out Grant Morrison's JLA Vol. 1, the Deluxe Edition.

A gorgeous version of Howard Chaykin's classic American Flagg is now available from Image Comics. This is comics history, and deserves to be read.

You can't appreciate modern comics without appreciating all that Jack Kirby did, and Kirby: King of Comics is a great way to do it.

If you know iFanboy, you know we love Queen and Country, and the the Definitive Editions are the best way to read them.

You want to give a good cry this Christmas? Try the Essex County books from Jeff Lemire.

A whole lot of people in their 20's who are trying to learn about themselves and the world will appreciate this beautiful collection of Local.

If you know anyone into World War II history, you could do a lot worse than this box set of Bill Mauldin's WWII work, Willie & Joe: The WWII Years

If you can't find some gifts in there, then there's just nothing we can do for you. Happy Holidays nevertheless!
