Comico Christmas Special #1
"Living for Christmas" is a heartfelt holiday tale from 1988, where a man obsessed with the season uses suspended animation to live only through December—until a boy who reminds him of his son helps him rediscover what Christmas truly means. Written by Douglas M. Wheeler and brought to life by Ken Holewczynski’s art, inks, and lettering, with coloring by Joe Matt, the story unfolds with quiet warmth and emotional depth. The cover, a festive standout by Dave Stevens, captures the spirit of the season in his signature style.
