Discover a Brand New Klaus Special Unlike Anything You’ve Ever Seen Before this December 2019
LOS ANGELES, CA (November 21, 2019) – BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at KLAUS AND THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JOE CHRISTMAS #1, a special oversized issue of the Eisner Award-nominated reimagining of the Santa Claus mythology that is entirely wordless, from visionary writer Grant Morrison (Green Lantern, All Star Superman) and superstar artist Dan Mora (Power Rangers: Shattered Grid), debuting in December 2019.
Nothing’s calm but all is bright in this once-in-a-lifetime special KLAUS event—a completely silent issue! Meet Joe Christmas, a regular human man who’s known Klaus all his life, and fought beside him for most of it.
