2010 Holiday Gift Guide – For the Indie Comics Fan…
By P&P Staff

Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Boxed Set
Oni Press
The book that inspired the wonderful film. Some may scoff at you for reading the comic, especially with the manga-looking covers, but we know better, don’t we? The book might be slightly scathing in its depiction of our own geek culture, but never manages to lose sight of its attention-deficit goal, being fun and funny. Collected now in this awesome paperback set.

What I Did
Fantagraphics
Jason is still one of the comics medium’s leading artists, with a fantastic knack for visual storytelling before words. Continuing in the hardcover tradition of Almost Silent, What I Did collects three Jason favorites – “Hey, Wait…” “Sshhhh!” and “The Iron Wagon” – into one elegantly bound book that will match perfectly on the shelf with the other omnibus-style compilations Fantagraphics has release for Jason.

Frank Miller’s Sin City 3rd Edition
Dark Horse
When it comes to comics noir, it doesn’t get much better than Frank Miller’s Sin City. When the writer and artist was at his prime, he churned out seven volumes of gritty violence, unbelievable babes and sensational black-and-white art. Dark Horse has just finishing reprinting the series for a 3rd Edition, complete with new covers by Miller, so it’s the perfect time to help a new fan catch up.

The Guild TPB
Dark Horse
Obsessive fans of Felicia Day’s (Dr. Horrible) The Guild will likely love just as much reading her origin story of getting the group together in this Dark Horse adaptation. The first three issues are now available in trade paperback format, with a sketchbook and pin-ups sweetening the deal.

Parker: The Outfit
IDW Publishing
Darwyn Cooke already found success to the tune of an Eisner Award in graphically adapting Richard Stark’s Parker: The Hunter. Now Cooke is back just in time for the holidays with an adaptation of the sequel, Parker: The Outfit. Parker’s living the high-life after the conclusion of the first book, only to find a price on his head after someone rats him out to The Outfit.
