Christmas Fun

It's almost Christmas, so all of you boys and girls make sure to be good so Santa Claus will visit you when you sleep on Christmas Eve!  Until then, here's some stories to entertain you! 

"Santa Claus Funnies" #1 (1942) has a humorous cover with Santa driving a jeep.  On the back we see his reindeer laughing at him.  Obviously Santa needs to stick to his sleigh. 



This story is "The Fir Tree" by Hans Christian Andersen, with art by Walt Kelly, the creator of Pogo Possum.  It's also from "Santa Claus Funnies" #1.  









The next story is from "Four Color" #359, the first comic with Frosty the Snowman.  It was reworked ten years later for "Four Color" #1272.  The front cover is taken from Heritage Auctions.    












Now here are some Christmas comic covers that I like, including one for a silly movie adaptation.  All covers are taken from Heritage Auctions.    


Captain Marvel Adventures #19


Comic Cavalcade #5, copyrighted by DC Comics.


Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

I hope everyone has a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year!  I think I got that right....
