I hope everyone is having a good holiday season, whatever you celebrate. My holiday gifts included several comics related items as did a few peri-holiday purchases for myself. Here's the haul:
DC Comics Style Guide. This one I had pre-ordered some months ago, but it happened to show up in the week or so prior to Christmas. It is gorgeous, though with the material available digitally online, it's prior not as revelatory as it would have been a decade ago. Still very glad to have it.
Mighty Marvel Calendar Book. I got this one as a gift. It's an imposing tome, prompting my inlaws to wonder if I had a shelf big enough! There were more Marvel calendars in the late 70s-early 80s than I realized and its good to see them all in this format. I wish we would get a DC volume, too.
American Comic Book Chronicles. This full-color hardcover series from TwoMorrows is a great overview of comics history. Just before the holiday I picked up the newly released 1945-1949 volume, but while I was ordering I also snagged the only other volume I didn't have, the 1990s.
