Christmas With the Comic Books - One Final Flurry
By Jim Kingman
One final flurry of comic book covers, that is. It’s the finals days before Christmas, and all through our apartment, well, I’ve got to get a host of comic books out of the way. We’re having lots of company over this holiday season, and I’ve got stacks of comics everywhere, especially in the front hallway where everyone is going to enter. Children are wonderful, but I don’t want them stumbling over the like of Green Lantern/Green Arrow by O’Neil and Adams and Archie Goodwin’s run on Detective Comics, not to mention that obscure Sherlock Holmes comic published by DC in 1975. So fifteen grand stacks of 1970s comics must find temporary shelter.
But before I move on to cleaning and cooking and holiday cheer, I want to leave you with a multitude of comic book Christmas covers. These are the ones I didn’t have a chance to comment on, but they helped make my Christmas just looking at them. So enjoy, and a Merry Christmas to all, and to all a happy and prosperous New Year!
