Considering A Christmas Story was directed by the guy who directed the original Black Christmas (1974)..
...it's almost a miracle that holiday classic didn't end up like this Xmas tale of a boy and his toy gun!
Rendered beautifully by Bill Everett, this Yuletide tale from Atlas' Spellbound #16 (1953) appeared during the height of the horror comics craze of the early 1950s.
The identity of the writer is, sadly, unknown.
When the story was reprinted in Marvel's Weird Wonder Tales #3 (1974), only the first panel of the opening page was slightly-modified, eliminating almost all the text!
I have no idea why!
