Marvel Treasury Edition No. 13 Cover – Giant Superhero Holiday Grab-Bag by Kane, Romita and Sinnott

December 24, 2021|In Comics, Marvel

Another holiday season and another Christmas reprint special from the House of Ideas. Pencilled primarily by Gil Kane – with touchups by John Romita – and inked by Joe Sinnott, I wonder how many people thought it was off the wall to have the Thing dressed up as Santa with Thor and Hulk as his reindeer. Plus Ben Grimm is Jewish and Thor came from the Norse gods.

At the very least, it showed that the Christmas season has a lot of appeal beyond a baby in a manger who had his birthday moved from Spring to the first days of Winter to calm down the pagan celebrations of the solstice.

New colour and packaging by myself.
