JINGLE BELLE: SANTA CLAUS VS. FRANKENSTEIN

Written by Paul Dini, art by Stephanie Gladden, cover by Gladden and Greg Horn.

Paul Dini's Jingle Belle comes to Top Cow in a special "Halloween collides with Christmas" one-shot.

In years past, Santa has triumphed over a variety of enemies including the Devil himself. Now, St. Nick gets ready to face his greatest challenge ever in Jingle Belle: Santa Claus Vs. Frankenstein!

Inspired by Mary Shelley's original novel (sort of), the story of Frankenstein's monster takes a new twist when he is found by Jingle in the Arctic wastes and "rehabilitated" to fit in with the elves at Santa's Workshop. All goes well until an ultra-PC city declares Santa Claus taboo and awakens Frankie's monstrous side in a misguided attempt to help his friend. It's up to an ailing Santa and a reluctant Jingle Belle to stop their monstrous "apprentice" before he destroys the town and ruins the reputation of Christmas forever!

32 pages, $2.99.

 

 
  OVERVIEW
   
 

Dinicartoons is a line of comics that grew out of Paul Dini’s desire to tell stories outside of the superhero genre. The imprint features characters created by Dini, including Madame Mirage, Jingle Belle, Polly Green and Sheriff Ida Red. The line will eventually also feature characters and stories created by Dini’s many friends in the animation business who have been looking for a platform to showcase their original creations. Dincartoons at Top Cow kicks off with the December 2008 release of JINGLE BELLE: SANTA CLAUS VS. FRANKENSTEIN.
