Big Shiny Robot! has a weekly column in the Salt Lake City alt-weekly IN Magazine and every week we bring it to you on the site.

If you live in the greater Salt Lake area, you can pick up a copy of IN Magazine up from one of their ubiquitous newsstands, and we would highly suggest that you do.

You can read the online version of the story here.

This week, we get you into the buying spirit and tell you that you should be buying comics for people who wouldn’t ordinarily be into them.  (And in passing, might we suggest taking a peek at the Big Shiny Store?  Lots of good stuff there for Christmas.)
