Holiday Reading Room RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER "The Reindeer Who Saved Christmas!"

We Have Already Seen...

...that's as concise a synopsis as you'll ever read, so on to the story with all requisite speed...

The copy we're using doesn't have a final page.
So we'll use the original hand-drawn layout!

Written by Robert L May and illustrated by Denver Gillen, this beloved tale was actually an advertising promotion designed to lure customers into doing Christmas shopping!
We hope you've enjoyed this bit of holiday history, and keep checking us out for more Christmastime fun!

Monday Madness CHRISTMAS CARNIVAL "Santa's Red Red Nose"

What happens if Kris Kringle gets sick on Christmas Eve?

This tale from St John's Christmas Carnival (1952) 100-page one-shot gives you the answer!

It was all a dream!

Thank Heavens!

The thought of a Christmas without Santa is just too much to bear! ;-)
This tale (and the entire Christmas Carnival 100-page 25-cent book) were published twice!
Once in 1952 by Ziff-Davis and again in 1955 by St John Publishing, which bought the Ziff-Davis comics line's material when the publisher liquidated that division after the "Seduction of the Innocent" witch hunt!
Ironic, since Ziff-Davis Comics was one of the least-offensive publishers on the magazine racks!
The writer and artist(s) are unknown.

Design of the Month "Bah, Humbug!"

Usually, each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days...

...however, we feel that this phrase is so concise, so important, that it should remain available to our audience for the entire month!
With Christmas approaching, let's celebrate with the most famous phrase of the man who personifies the Trumpian XMas Spirit ... Ebenezer Scrooge in a kool retro Victorian-era font!
