Your 2013 NYT Holiday Gift Guide Comics-Related Suggestions



I don't know if the on-line iteration of the book section of the New York Times 2013 Holiday Gift Guide is the same as a print version or what, but it's sort of categorically challenged, with some work in graphic novels that aren't really comics at all and some work of comics in other categories. This isn't an uncommon thing for some of the grand old men of cultural running around the room with a scepter and striking people on the shoulder, but it does make you wonder at some of the choices being made book to book.

No matter how they got there, I hope this leads to increased sales for all of these nice comics-makers and related-to-comics makers.

Here is what I saw there, casting my net was widely as possible:

In Graphic Novels
* Boxers And Saints, Gene Luen Yang (First Second)
* Fairest In All The Land, Bill Willingham And An Army Of Collaborative Artists (DC/Vertigo)
* Five Ghosts Volume One: The Haunting Of Fabian Gray, Frank J. Barbiere And Chris Mooneyham And SM Vidaurri And Lauren Afe (Image)
* Hellboy: The Midnight Circus, Mike Mignola And Duncan Fegredo And Dave Stewart (Dark Horse)
* RASL, Jeff Smith (Cartoon Books)
* Super Graphic, Tim Leong (Chronicle)
* The Art Of Archie, The Covers Various Artists, Edited By Victor Gorelick And Craig Yoe (IDW)
* The Married Kama Sutra, Farley Katz And Simon Rich (Little Brown)
* Thor, God Of Thunder Volume One: The God Butcher Esad Ribic And Jason Aaron (Marvel)

In Coffee Table Books
* The Great War, Joe Sacco (WW Norton)

Bathroom Reading
* How Are You Feeling?, David Shrigley (WW Norton)
* Hyperbole And A Half, Allie Brosh (Simon And Schuster)
* Relish, Lucy Knisley (First Second)

In Art Books
* Co-Mix, Art Spiegelman (Drawn and Quarterly)
* Fran, Jim Woodring (Fantagraphics)

Also Alexander Theroux's The Grammar Of Rock, which is a Fantagraphics prose book, was named. I like Alexander Theroux.
