Grill Master: a personalized comic book gift
There is one person at every cookout who guards the grill like a sacred flame and will not surrender the tongs. This is their comic book. Panel by panel, they tame flare-ups, shield the burgers from rain and stare down a neighbor with a bigger smoker. Send in their secret rub, the slogan on their apron and what they say when someone suggests gas, and the story sizzles around them. It is a perfect personalized comic book for a husband who owns three meat thermometers.
