Art Does the Talking in KLAUS AND THE LIFE & TIMES OF JOE CHRISTMAS
September 13, 2019Continuing what has become a holiday tradition at Boom! Studios, Grant Morrison and Dan Mora will come together, yet again, to deliver the one-shot, Klaus and the Life & Times of Joe Christmas #1.
The book will serve as a wordless reimagining of the mythology surrounding Santa Claus, centering on main character, Joe Christmas. He’s a regular human man who has known Klaus all of his life, having fought beside him for most of it. As he grows, he becomes one of Klaus‘ closest friends and allies as they battle gigantic monsters and share beautiful moments of holiday spirit.
“As ever, working with Dan Mora on a new Klaus story is a highlight of my year. For this year’s special we decided to do something a little different by creating a Christmas advent calendar story featuring 25 iconic scenes from the adventures of Klaus,” said Morrison. “We wanted to give Dan free rein for his remarkable creativity and imagination while also providing a narrative element that allows the images to tell the exciting, poignant and completely wordless life story of one, Joe Christmas. From his humble beginnings to his inevitable end, as we see how that life has been affected and changed by his encounters and adventures with Klaus.”
The book, itself, will feature 25, two-page vertical spreads of all-new and wordless Christmas adventures. It goes on sale on December 18, 2019.
