Scrooge, un chant de Noël #[nn]

A lone figure in a top hat strides through a snow-dusted street, a blue scarf trailing behind him as warm amber light glows from the windows of a Victorian townhouse — it's an evocative opening image for Rodolphe and Estelle Meyrand's graphic adaptation of Charles Dickens' beloved holiday tale. Published by Delcourt Jeunesse in 2008, this Franco-Belgian take on A Christmas Carol brings a painterly, atmospheric warmth to Scrooge's wintry world. If you're looking for a beautifully rendered comics version of one of literature's most enduring stories, this one deserves a place under the tree.
