“The Christmas Spirit of 1950”

In "The Christmas Spirit of 1950," a delightfully absurd twist on holiday tradition sees the feisty Darling O'Shea taking legal action against Santa Claus for failing to deliver a gift—so she’s prepared to have him shot on sight. Written by Jules Feiffer and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Will Eisner, this 1950 comic blends satire and whimsy in a story that’s as sharp as it is festive, with lettering by Abe Kanegson.
