Monday Mars Madness SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS Part 2

When Last We Left Santa Claus...

Actually, the robot doesn't speak in the movie!

In a desperate attempt to stimulate their lethargic and unmotivated children, the Martians decide to create a Christmas celebration on Mars.
But, the idea lacks one vital element...the real Santa Claus!
The Martian leader, Kimar, leads an expedition to Earth, where they find a pair of children who direct them to Santa's workshop at the North Pole.
The aliens and their robot invade the workshop, stun the elves and Mrs Claus, and depart, taking both Santa and the children with them...

Will Voldar realize his mistake?

And if so, will Droppo survive?

Will Santa get back to Earth in time for Christmas?

Be here on Christmas Eve for the answers to these and other questions in the thrilling conclusion!

Holiday Theatre STAN LEE READS "NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS"

You thought the 1960s Batman and Robin meeting Santa Claus couldn't be topped for Yuletide weirdness?

Well, this comes pretty damn close...

All I can say is
"Excelsior!"

Space Force Saturdays SPACE BUSTERS "Victory on Valda"

Editor Jerry Siegel wanted Space Busters to look more like...

... the recently-revamped and revitalized Buck Rogers strip!

But artist Marvin Stein ended up using the original Buck strip as reference in his tryout, and lost the gig!

With a looming deadline, Siegel contacted the Buck Rogers strip's artist, Murphy Anderson (who had recently left the series) to provide redesigns...

...as well as the cover-featured story!

(Note: the cover is by Allen Anderson...no relation to Murphy!)

Personally, I'm not crazy about the purple-red color scheme, but at least it matches the uniform on the cover.

Friday Holiday Fun BARBIE "See You Later, Christmas Gator" Part 1: the Journey Begins

Ah, a universe where Santa Claus is real...

...that's my kind of place!

Written by Angelo DeCesare, penciled by Mario Capaldi, and inked by John Lucas, this never-reprinted tale from Marvel's Barbie #50 (1995) was typical of the kool flights of fancy the series specialized in.

Barbie, and its' sister title Barbie Fashion, were two secret success stories for Marvel in the 1990s.

Because they weren't superhero titles, hardcore, mostly male, fans never even noticed them, but the two books ran an impressive 63 and 53 issues respectively at a time when many Marvel titles lasted 12 issues...or less!

Holiday Reading Room SANTA CLAUS FUNNIES "Fir Tree"

Last year, we presented a religious-themed tale about the origin of Christmas trees...

...guest-starring the Christ Child Himself!

This one's a little more light-hearted!

Based on a fairy tale by Hans Christian Anderson, Walt (Pogo) Kelly both adapted the story and illustrated it for Dell's Santa Claus Funnies #1 (1942).
