An impressive adaptation coming decades later than it could have but the years don't show. One wonders what this would have done for comics had publishers been more forward thinking.

Nothing like a good old Christmas tale rediscovered in a graphic form!

A classic tale that never gets old, and this time it’s accompanied by some beautiful graphics. A must read for any ‘Christmas Carol” fan!

Read with my wife, I really enjoyed this comic version, I found the art very suitable to the time period and general nature of the the story.
I’d recommend this to anyone that enjoys period pieces.

Who doesn't love A Christmas Story? This graphic novel is well done, true to the original story, yet bringing something fresh. After the story were fascinating bonus materials about Harvey Kurtzman (from Mad Magazine) and his attempts in 1957 to get this commissioned as a "coffee table comic".

What a delightful way to consume one of the world’s most famous holiday stories. Beautiful artwork, I especially love the stylings of both Marley and the Ghost of Christmas Past. My only complaint is that this is only available digitally. I would love an actual print graphic novel to enjoy every year!

This adaption of a Christmas Carol is well done. There are wonderful little in jokes in some of the illustrations.
