When bandits steal his clothes and scatter his cargo on a snowy journey, he battles the cold and despair, only to be transformed by an angel’s gift of skill, a red suit, and a flying sleigh. Dan Noonan handles both art and inks for the story, while Dan Gormley’s cover captures the magic with festive flair.
In "Christmas in the Circus," Whiskers, a curious little tiger, discovers the magic of Christmas and shares the idea with the other circus animal children. Now, the grown-ups must find a way to make the holiday feel real—without letting the kids down.
In a mountain village of toymakers, Santa—though devoted to children—lacks the craft to make toys himself. When chosen to deliver a winter’s worth of gifts to the city, he’s ambushed by bandits, left with nothing but the cold and scattered toys. Determined to fulfill his mission, he struggles through the snow to gather and mend what he can. An angel, moved by his resolve, appears and bestows upon him the tools, suit, and flying sleigh that will carry his gift of joy to children everywhere.
