☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis hardcover collection brings together the complete seven-issue miniseries that reimagines the origin of Santa Claus. Written and illustrated by Grant Morrison and Dan Mora, the story follows a mysterious, armored figure named Klaus who battles a tyrannical ruler to bring joy and gifts to a grim, oppressed town, establishing the legend of Santa Claus as a rebel hero.
In this standout issue of Klaus, Grant Morrison and Dan Mora weave a haunting origin tale as Klaus recalls his childhood rescue from the ice, his bond with Dagmar, and the betrayal that left him for dead in the forest—only to be saved by the wolf Lilli. Now a man on the run, Klaus reunites with Dagmar, offering her a carved toy bird and a promise to free Grimsvig, while she teaches her son to play, unaware of the trap being set. Dan Mora’s striking art and moody colors bring this icy, mythic world to life, with every panel charged with quiet dread and emotional weight.
In "null," Klaus returns to Grimsvig to find the town transformed into a grim, controlled regime where toys are confiscated and children are silenced. As he confronts the oppressive rule of Lord Magnus and the cold authority of Jonas, the Shining Family’s presence lingers in the shadows—offering something no one else can, in the quiet moments between fear and memory.
In "null," Klaus moves through the city under cover of night, quietly delivering toys left behind by the Shining Family. When Magnus seizes the gifts and Dagmar identifies their maker, Klaus must vanish into the shadows, outrunning soldiers determined to capture him.
In "null," Klaus navigates a city teetering between order and unraveling as he slips away with Lilli’s aid, leaving behind Magnus’s escalating fury and Dagmar’s quiet defiance. Drawn into the mine’s hidden depths, Klaus confronts something ancient and silent before returning to the city to ignite a quiet revolution—spreading joy, summoning Lady Dagmar, and testing the fragile balance of what it means to be human.
In "null," Klaus—once a child saved from the ice—returns to the frozen heart of his past, where old wounds and buried truths stir beneath the snow. Reunited with Dagmar, now a mother guarding her son and her secrets, he must prove his innocence while the weight of a shared history pulls them both toward a reckoning.
In "null," Magnus warns Dagmar of a powerful force stirring beneath the mine, while Klaus moves through the shadowed streets of a besieged town, offering hope to desperate miners as soldiers seize their children. With a letter from Jonas guiding him, Magnus sets a trap for Klaus, but it's Finn who helps the wounded hero escape the city’s grasp—leading him to sanctuary with Lilli.
In "null," Magnus and his men execute Klaus just as the king arrives to confront him, but the miners' long-hidden act has awakened something ancient beneath the earth—now demanding the children Magnus promised it as tribute.
In "null," a mysterious force of destruction devastates a town and kills Magnus, only to be finally stopped by Klaus—whose bond with the Shining Family has made him immortal. With Klaus’s guidance, Dagmar leads the rebuilding of the city, shaping a new era of peace and strength. As the years pass, Klaus departs, leaving Jonas to rule, and makes a quiet promise to return each year when the world is at its darkest, a beacon of hope in times of need.
