With the holiday season just around the corner, and those nice ice-skaters from Gap clogging up the airwaves, Gutter Press gets all seasonal with Chris Butcher's handy-dandy manifesto on spreading poisonous influence in the guise of goodwill; The Guide to Giving Comics as Presents. Meanwhile, the good cheer continues with lifestyle guide How2B, this month helping you become one of Santa's very happiest of little helpers, the much loved Sin City psychopath Marv.

In the spirit of giving, it's a Six of One December double-bill, featuring Lea Hernandez on a roasting fire, and Jhonen Vasquez nipping at your nose. It's not just fun, it's educational too. Plus, if you've had enough of turkey, we can offer an abundance of duck, not to mention cat, turtle, aardvark and penguin, in our historical round-up of walkin' talkin' animals in comics, from Mighty Mouse to Maus.

Gutter Press is the gift that keeps on giving. Happy Coca-Cola day, kiddies.
