 Number One Is Walking is Steve Martin’s cinematic legacy―an illustrated memoir of his legendary acting career, with stories from his most popular films and artwork by New Yorker cartoonist Harry Bliss.

DC Comics Covergirls by Louise Simonson, 208 pages

This was a Christmas present from my sister. It looks at the women who graced the covers of DC Comics from the very early days, some as sidekicks, villainesses, bit players, many with their own titles. Starting with Wonder Woman (my favorite) the book works through BatGirl, CatWoman, Lois Lane, Poison Ivy, Power Girl, and many other woman. While I really only read Wonder Woman, it was interesting to read about the roles women had on the pages of comics, and I may end up picking up more titles.

Humongous Zits by Jerry Scott & Jim Borgman, 255 pages

Another comic collection featuring Jeremy, and his parents, who seem to exist only to embarrass him. That is the only reason Jason and I find for getting out of bed many days, how can we totally embarrass Renee that day?

My Bad (Zits Treasury) by Jerry Scott & Jim Borgman, 262 pages

Anytime a Zits book gets brought into the house, a fight usually ensues over who gets to read it, with the book disappearing into various people's bedrooms. Having a teenager in the house, the comics hit home way too often.
