Krampus: Shadow of Saint Nicholas

In this 2015 one-shot from Legendary, writer Michael Dougherty joins Todd Casey and Zach Shields to expand the dark folklore of the Krampus, with Christian DiBari’s art bringing a gothic, mythic weight to the story. Set in the same universe as Dougherty’s film, the comic delves into the ancient origins of Saint Nicholas’s shadowy counterpart, framing him as a necessary force of winter’s harsh justice. It matters as a moody, standalone exploration of a holiday anti-hero, offering fans a deeper look at the lore behind the creature.
