When I was a kid, my Irish relatives would send me comics annuals every Christmas. We always looked forward to those, and I never understood why we didn’t have something comparable in the U.S. At the UK blog Now Read This!, Win Wiacek looks at one of those delights of Christmases past, the 1967 Marvel Storybook Annual, and puts it into context for American comics fans.

The aptly named AAUGH.com has a gallery of Charlie Brown Christmas books up, with the cover and a sample of interior art from around 20 diffrent paper iterations of the famous cartoon. (Via The Beat.)
