In "Me!", Jed and the Sandman journey to the North Pole to prove Santa’s existence for a skeptical Titus Gotrox—only to discover Santa has been kidnapped by angry Seal Men upset over his gift choices. With help from a confused but well-meaning Santa, they clear up the misunderstanding, but a surprise visitor soon follows: Titus’ nephew, who’s less interested in inheritance and more in joining the holiday mission. Written by Michael Fleisher and featuring Jack Kirby’s dynamic art with inks by Mike Royer, this special blends whimsy and wonder in a tale where belief, even in the most unlikely places, makes all the difference. The cover, penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by D. Bruce Berry, captures the magic in full swing.

In a surreal twist of memory and myth, Kamandi is brought to the Dream Dome by Brute and Glob, where he confronts Sandman—once dismissed as a child’s fantasy—only to learn that Sandman’s tale of Santa Claus might be more real than he thought. As past and present blur, Kamandi begins to recognize fragments of a forgotten journey, leading to a shocking revelation: Sandman’s lost companion Jed is actually a version of himself from another timeline. With the help of Sandman and the energy unleashed by Ben Boxer’s mutants, Kamandi must find a way to reclaim his own story before it’s lost forever.

In a holiday twist that’s equal parts absurd and heartfelt, Jed and Sandman journey to the North Pole to prove Santa Claus is real—only to find him kidnapped by the Seal Men, furious over gifts they deemed inappropriate. As the duo untangles the misunderstanding and rescues Santa, they discover a surprise follow-up: Titus Gotrox’s nephew, eager to claim his inheritance, has stowed away. With Santa’s sleigh now carrying a new, reluctant helper, the season’s mission takes an unexpected turn.
