Not for Kiddies!
Dave at Yet Another Comics Blog has been posting some great Christmas covers all this month. I thought this Atheist half-Jew should join in the Holiday to cheer by offering you his favorite Christmas cover:
I believe this was the only comic book-sized issue of Bizarre Adventure. It's also the only one I've read. Filled with a bunch of 80's Marvel bullpen guys creating dark little tales about Christmas. The main reason to pick up this book is it because it contains the only non-Steve Gerber Howard the Duck story worth reading, a Steven Grant/Paul Smith story that is a parody of "It's a Wonderful Life." To be honest I picked up the book from the back issue bins because I have a thing for animated skeletons. To me Army of Darkness and Jason and the Argonauts are the heights of filmmaking.
In other news Comic Book Galaxy has its year end roundtable up at their site. I'll be honest, I skipped a lot of it and only read the comments by the people I already know. It was there that I found this great quote from Fanatagraphics' Eric Reynolds:
The only mainstream comic I liked and followed at all this year was that Darwyn Cooke book about the DC characters. If every mainstream comic was that well done, the Comics Journal could quit publishing, mission accomplished.
God Bless that Reynolds and his scruffy little heart.
