Tate Brombal's Dark Horse Creator Gift Guide



HELLBOY OMNIBUS BOXED SET

Hellboy

"I gifted myself this boxset a couple holidays ago, and to this day it is one of my favorite collections in my entire comics library. Get the full, core Hellboy story here along with all that gothic Mignola goodness. Some of the best comics storytelling period."


10,000 INK STAINS: A MEMOIR

10k_inkstains

"Jeff Lemire is one of the most prolific modern cartoonists, and this year he gifted us all with his official comics memoir. Witnessing Jeff's beginnings and all the hardwork he put into building his incredible career is truly inspiring, and I was amazed at how candid he often gets. Jeff doesn't hold back as he reveals difficult truths and industry secrets. A great page-turner that I could not put down!"


H.P. LOVECRAFT'S THE HOUND AND OTHER STORIES

goutanabehound

"The perfect gift for any horror fiends in your life. Any of the Lovecraft adaptations at Dark Horse will do, but I adore this collection of short stories. The perfect, moody tales to come back to again and again. Adapting these stories to comics is no small feat, but Gou Tanabe's work here is just a masterwork in tone and pacing, while Zack Davisson's brilliant translation brings it all together. I cannot recommend these collections enough!!"
