Four Color #61

In a snowy Christmas Eve tale from 1944, Santa finds himself stranded when Jack Frost steals his sleigh and toys, leading him to seek shelter at a hidden cottage of elves. As he helps the tiny craftsmen by offering his own garments to clothe them, the elves hatch a clever plan to craft a new suit—using the red coat of a passing giant.

In the heart of a divided village, two warring knights have split Benn in two, leaving its people lost and hardened. When a mysterious boy appears on Christmas Eve, he brings an unexpected stillness—calming the children’s rage and guiding them to a forgotten chapel deep in the Wildwood. As their parents search for them, they find not chaos, but harmony: children singing hymns in unity. The sight moves the villagers to reconsider their ways, and for the first time in years, hope stirs in the shadow of their long-held bitterness.
