Mars Attacks the Holidays

Fred Hembeck's singular, cartoonish sensibility brings the classic Topps trading card aliens to a very specific kind of holiday havoc in this 2012 IDW one-shot. As the sole writer and artist, Hembeck delivers a self-contained, humorous romp that pits the Martians against the trappings of Christmas, Thanksgiving, and other seasonal celebrations. A lighthearted and offbeat entry in the long-running "Mars Attacks" franchise, it showcases a beloved cartoonist's unique take on the invasion premise.
