If you're looking for the perfect gift for, well, anybody, then look no further. Not only is Beasts! one of the most handsome art collections ever printed (replete with gold-foil embossed hardcover and gilded pages) it's packed full of brilliant illustrations of darn near every mythological, cryptozoological and supernatural being ever imagined by a variety of amazing artists.

Let's go ass-kicking, IN THE FUTURE!!! (link)
This 852 page omnibus collects the entire run of Mike Allred's stupefyingly awesome Madman series. It's also a magnificent showcase for Allred's incredibly unique retro-pop design aesthetic, with which I am completely and eternally enamored. (link)
My love of William Gibson's novel "Pattern Recognition" (in which a character's unreasoning fear of Bibendum plays a large role) is only slightly overshadowed by my general love of advertising character-art, making this a must have. (link)
Everybody needs a little METAL in their stocking. So much great shit came out this year, I'm still trying to get my hands on these gems:
» High on Fire "Death Is This Communion"
» Weedeater "God Luck and Good Speed"
» Land of the Giants (The Giant Collection)
This collection of Irwin Allen's sci-fi TV series packs in every pulp-adventure filled moment along with some sweet uber-nerdy collectible goodies, all stuffed into a ridiculously elaborate wooden-crate designed to resemble the cage the Spindrift crew is captured in during one of the series most memorable episodes.

» Junko Mizuno's Keiko the Director
It seems like everyone waited until the end of the year to release their amazing collectible vinyl, and it would be a shame to miss this piece, perhaps Mizuno's most provocative design yet (and that's really saying something). It's that perfect mix of sexy and scary that Mizuno is known for, rendered in delicious candylike 3-D. (link)
» Suck UK Skeleton Key Bottle Opener
I never seem to have a bottle-opener handy, and I can't think of a better way to remedy that lack than with this ace-looking addition to my key-ring. (link)
» Jack Chick "Evolution" Poster
We all know and (grudgingly) love Jack Chick's noxiously judgemental religious tracts, and now you can slap this massive, garish and utterly offensive poster on your wall and savor the Fundamentalist flavor at your leisure. It honestly reminds me of a Mad magazine fold-in page, only the joke is that people actually believe in creationism. (link)
All those years of being cock-teased by blurred-out anime porn and poorly edited or censored "explicit" dating sims have come to an abrupt end with Bazooka Cafe. It's about as subtle as a truckload of breast implants colliding with a train car full of Russ Meyer flicks, but if you're the kind of person who would ever consider buying this then you're alreday over how insanely O-T-T this is.

Imagine walking into your bathroom every morning to be greeted by this. How could you not have a good day? (link)
Even though they don't make them in fat-boy sizes, I'd be happy enough just to see someone else wearing this. (link)
Classic Media have one-upped all other releases by finally including the original Japanese soundtracks and edits of these 7 classic Godzilla films (including Terror of Mechagodzilla and All Monsters Attack, which appear here for the first time in the Classic Media format). Lovingly restored, brilliantly packaged, this is a G-fan's dream. (link)
» Star Wars "Chubby" Nesting Dolls
I don't care what your stance is on Star Wars, these are just damn cute. I mean, look at those Wookies!!! (link)
These lovelies go on sale November 29th, and I'm hoping KidRobot simultaneously launches a Toyholics Anonymous 12-step program to help me deal with my crippling addiction. (link)
