One big book, one art book, and one stocking stuffer. Pick by budget.

Best overall

Zdarsky's Spider-Man, all in one

Spider-Man by Chip Zdarsky Omnibus

This is for the Spider-Man reader who missed these stories as they came out. Chip Zdarsky puts Peter Parker front and center, with Kingpin, the Tinkerer, and Norman Osborn all causing trouble. Artists include Adam Kubert and Goran Parlov, and Mark Bagley draws a story of Peter's life told as if he aged in real time. It is a lot of Spider-Man in one big book.

Best for Spider-Man readers who missed it monthly

Marvel Dimensions (Hardcover)

This is for Marvel movie fans of any age. Alex Ross painted it and wrote it, and it opens with a tour of classic origins for Spider-Man, the Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine, and others in full painted spreads. It is the second book in his Marvel Arts series after Fantastic Four: Full Circle. Anyone who knows the characters from the films can enjoy it at a glance.

The story behind Logan

Wolverine: Old Man Logan [Premier Collection]

This is a stocking stuffer for a Wolverine fan, especially one who liked the Logan movie. Mark Millar and Steve McNiven tell the story of a broken Wolverine in a future America where villains won. The book also inspired Deadpool & Wolverine, and it comes with a new introduction by McNiven. A paperback at this size is an easy add to a gift pile.

Omnibuses that take up real shelf space.

Ditko's pages at full size

Amazing Spider-Man by Steve Ditko Artist's Edition

This is for the serious collector. It is an Artist's Edition of Steve Ditko's original Spider-Man pages, printed at the size he drew them. It includes Amazing Fantasy #15, where Spider-Man first appears, plus Amazing Spider-Man #20, #26, and #33. Stan Lee wrote the stories. It is a large, pricey book for someone who cares about the original art, and it makes a statement when given.

Best for The serious collector

Cover $195.00Details

1,400 pages of Krakoa

X-Men: Age of Krakoa - Dawn of X Omnibus Vol. 1

This is for X-Men fans who want to catch up on the Krakoa years. Jonathan Hickman writes the start of the era, where mutants run their own nation, with art by Leinil Yu and others. The omnibus runs about 1,400 pages. Getting that much story in one book spares a fan from hunting down a stack of volumes, which makes it a generous gift.

How Marvel statues get made

Marvel: Collecting the Universe (Hardcover)

This is for the Marvel collector. It is a deluxe hardcover about the Sideshow statues and figures of Marvel characters, with photography and interviews with the artists who made them.

Best for The Marvel collector

Cover $95.00Details

Michael Turner, collected at last

Marvel Art of Michael Turner (Hardcover)

This is for fans of 2000s comic art. It is a 200 page hardcover of Michael Turner's Marvel covers and artwork, in a 9 by 12 inch coffee table format. It mixes classic pieces with rarely seen ones and shows his take on Spider-Man, Captain America, and other heroes. Fans of that era get Turner's work collected for the first time, which makes it a gift they probably don't own.

Best for Fans of 2000s comic art

Cover $75.00Details

Nine Spider-Man prints to frame

Marvel Portfolio of Mike Del Mundo: Spider-Man 9 print set

This is for someone with a wall to fill. The set has nine full color Mike Del Mundo prints of Spider-Man characters, each 11 by 17 inches, in a translucent portfolio folder. They are ready to frame, so the gift is also a decorating project. A fan of Spider-Man or of painted comic art gets artwork they can hang right away.

The Marvel Dimensions extra

Marvel Dimensions HC Lunar Exclusive Edition

This is for the Marvel fan who wants the edition most stores don't carry. It is the same Alex Ross book, Marvel Dimensions, plus an exclusive print of the sketch for the regular cover, in an acetate sleeve. Ross painted the whole tour of Marvel's classic characters. The extra print makes it a little more special to give, and it is a good fit for a Marvel art fan.

Marvel through its colors

The Color of Marvel (Hardcover)

This is for art and design fans who like Marvel. It is a Chronicle Books gallery of comic covers, pages, and panels, built around how color shapes mood in Marvel stories. There are more than 300 images in it. It reads more like a design book than a comic, so it suits someone who appreciates artwork. It looks good on a coffee table and rewards flipping through.

Best for Art and design fans

Can I send it straight to the person?

Yes. Put their name and address in the shipping section at checkout.

Are these new?

What if I miss the date?

A prepaid subscription still works after the shipping cutoff. The first issue ships the next month.
