If that Klingon Bat'leth is on backorder or you can't find the right colored lightsaber, consider getting the nerd in your life a whole mess of comic books.

Head to Switzer Library, 266 Roswell St. NE in Marietta, to buy some donated comic books until Dec. 31.

It gets even better: They’re less than $1.

Because the only thing better than seeing the look on a loved one’s face when you nailed the gift-giving game is knowing you did it on the cheap.

Or if you're looking to kick off a nerdy craft project worthy of Pinterest, cheap comic books are always useful.

Want a magic wand? (Duh.) Then don't miss Cobb's Harry Potter exhibit
