4-Hellboy: A Christmas Underground

In 1997, Mike Mignola created a fabulous story in which he visits a dying woman on Christmas Eve 1989 who mistakes Hellboy for Santa Claus. He agrees to give her daughter, who died five years earlier, a Christmas gift. Surprisingly, he finds her and gives her the gift, a necklace with a cross. Of course, things end up in chaos, but it is, in its own way, charming, beautiful, and strange. Just as a good Christmas should be, indeed.

3-Batman: Noël

Of course, Batman also had to have his Christmas version, in a Gotham that seems to have been born to have trees and garlands within its gothic darkness. Here, the masked guardian will experience a kind of Christmas Carol (the legendary novel by Charles Dickens) with the definition of heroism at stake. With Lee Bermejo on script and art, it’s hard not to fall in love with this comic with spectacular page design.

2-The Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special

The anti-Christmas comic par excellence: the Easter Bunny is tired of being a second fiddle, so he hires Lobo to take out Santa Claus, whom we see smoking a gigantic cigar on his sofa, next to a gorilla. Loose limbs around, dead elves in the corners, dark humor, swear words, gunshots and all sorts of nonsense typical of this comic from 1991, absolutely essential in every respectable home.

1-Hawkeye

Some might say that this fantastic comic by Fraction and Aja is not Christmas-themed, but… When does it take place, at least in part? Huh? Exactly: at Christmas. And look, even though it doesn’t have Santa Claus or gift-giving, you get a masterpiece. After all, that’s what these holidays are for, right? To give and share, to receive good advice and discover new things. This is my gift to you. Ho, ho, ho. You’re welcome.
