There have been numerous comic adaptations of Charles Dickens' Christmas ghost story...
...but this never-reprinted one from (believe it or not) Marvel Comics, has the distinction of being illustrated by more artists than any other version!
Credited
to "Diverse Hands", the art styles I recognize include Bob Hall, Frank
Giacoia, Frank Springer, Dave Cockrum, Marie Severin, Carmine Infantino,
Steve Leialoha, John Romita Sr, Al Milgrom,
Mike Esposito, and probably anybody who wandered into the Bullpen while
this book was in production!
Trivia:
This was the final title in the Marvel Classics Comics line which had started out as color reprints of the early '70s b/w Pendulum Press "comic adaptations of classic stories" series. After a dozen issues, Marvel began doing their own adaptations, continuing for another two dozen issues.
Scripter
Doug Moench was no newcomer to adapting prose to comics having worked
on comics versions of literary properties including Doc Savage, The Shadow, James Bond, and Fu Manchu!
Colorist Francoise Mouly later became the art editor of The New Yorker, co-creator of the legendary comic anthology Raw, and is currently the publisher/editorial director of Toon Books, an imprint of Candlewick Press. She is the creative partner (and spouse) of Art Spiegelman.
