Two books today. First, the Sock Monkey Children's Book, which, in the span of a few pages, renders one absolutely spellbound. I felt the same way when I first read Tony Millionaire's Sock Monkey comic book.

Then, the latest issue of Hellboy from Mike Mignola. Mignola's art and writing are juicy as ever, making an excellent read. "The Third Wish" leaves you wanting more.
