Christmas Carol

Dick Matena brings his distinctive graphic novel style to Charles Dickens' classic tale, adapting "A Christmas Carol" for the Dutch publisher De Bezige Bij in a single-issue release that began in 2004. This standalone comic strips the beloved Victorian story down to its emotional core, with Matena's expressive black-and-white art capturing both the chill of Scrooge's isolation and the warmth of his redemption. A thoughtful, faithful adaptation that showcases Matena's skill in translating literary works into sequential art.
