Marvel Classics Comics No. 36 A Christmas Carol Cover by Bob Hall

January 18, 2024|In General

Long-time comics book readers will remember Classics Illustrated, comics that were adapted from great works of literature. They ceased publication in 1971, and a few years later Marvel brought out their own line of classics. The first dozen issues were reprints of Pendulum Now Age Classics and for the rest of the run they were produced by Marvel writers and artists.

The last issue was an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol with a cover by Bob Hall.

New colour by me.
