A Christmas Carol: The Night That Changed the Life of Eliza Scrooge #[nn]

Rod Espinosa's graphic novel adaptation of Charles Dickens's beloved tale gets a fresh reimagining with Eliza Scrooge at its center — a sharp-eyed woman in a fur-trimmed coat clutching an open chest of gold coins, glancing upward at the three supernatural figures looming above her: the warm, white-bearded Ghost of Christmas Present wreathed in holly, a pale spectral outline suggesting the Ghost of Christmas Past, and a dark hooded shape that can only be the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Espinosa handles every aspect of this 2012 Dark Horse volume — writing, pencils, inks, colors, and lettering — giving the whole production a unified, storybook elegance that suits Dickens's timeless source material beautifully. A compelling gender-swapped take on one of literature's most enduring redemption stories, rendered with care and craft throughout.
