Classics Illustrated Deluxe #9

Charles Dickens' beloved A Christmas Carol gets a full-color graphic novel treatment in this Classics Illustrated Deluxe volume, adapted by Rodolphe and Estelle Meyrand. The cover sets a perfectly moody Victorian mood: a gaunt, top-hatted figure — Scrooge himself — shuffles alone through a snow-dusted street at night, his scarf whipping in the cold wind while warmly lit windows glow invitingly behind him, emphasizing just how shut out from human warmth he truly is. Also included is The Remembrance of Mugby, making this 2012 Papercutz edition a generous double helping of Dickens for fans of literary comics adaptations.
