SHQ Holiday Recs Part One: Jules Picks

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM SECRET HEADQUARTERS

It's that time of year again! Already! Somehow! Never fear, we are here to help you pick out the best gifts for everyone on your list. Part one: picks from Jules, your friendly neighborhood comic shop manager.

Santos Sisters #1

Self-Published, $5

Loved this indie single issue. Archie meets Love & Rockets.

Something Is Killing The Children

Boom! Studios, $15 per volume

I am a giant baby, so I don't read a lot of horror. When I do, it has to be unique, thrilling, and well paced, as well as having beautiful art. Something Is Killing The Children ticks all the boxes.

Fooday

Self-Published, $20

Gorgeous risograph art from Ian Mackay. An "illustrated poem" that'll make you hungry for more.

Junji Ito's Cat Diary

Viz Media, $25

The master of Japanese horror brings you a comic about... kitty cats?! This new edition has a glow-in-the-dark cover.

Fungirl

Silver Sprocket, $30

My favorite book of the year. Laugh out loud hilarious, very cringey. Major Simon Hanselmann vibes (which means ADULTS ONLY, sorry kiddos.)

Lure

Fantagraphics Book, $30

This beautiful new sci fi book will make you think about climate catastrophe, art, class, and more.

If you grab from us, you'll get a signed and sketched bookplate by artist/writer Lane Milburn!
