Give the gift of FUN this Christmas ... part 2!

With only 12 days to go before stockings are un-stocked, presents become pasts, and crackers fall silent, it seems appropriate to offer up another gift idea ... or four!  If like us, the thought of tussling with hundreds of stressed shoppers for that perfect surprise brings you out in a cold sweat, help is now at hand courtesy of the Etherington Brothers one-stop-graphic-novel-shop.  If you can't find something to love here, then it doesn't exist! Ha!

1) For the ADVENTURER in us all...

MONKEY NUTS: THE DIAMOND EGG OF WONDERS


















"...a manic, full on adventure serial, heavy on the laughs and with some very nice, suitably kinetic artwork." (Richard Bruton, Forbidden Planet Blog)


2) For the armchair DETECTIVE in us all...

BAGGAGE



















"With it's strong sense of pace and drama, Baggage shows the Etherington Brothers' reputation as creators of great comic stories, told equally skillfully in words and pictures, going from strength to strength." (Julia Eccleshare The Guardian)


3) For the ART LOVER in us all...

EL SKETCHBOOK LORENZO DELUXE



















"It is, quite simply, one of the most beautiful books I've ever seen." (Jamie Smart, creator of Fishhead Steve, Bunny vs. Monkey, Bear, Genie, Whubble, Pre-Skool Prime Minster and a billion other comics)

4) And lastly, for the UNDERDOG (or rabbit) in us all...
