Klaus: How Santa Claus Began

Morrison and Mora create what might be the best Christmas fable of the modern era. This belongs in annual rotation along with The Grinch and Nightmare Before Christmas.

Art looks great, but the book was smashed up. This was a replacement order, and it got worse. No packing inside an oversized box. I don’t understand why the pillow I ordered was packed with bubbles wrap, while a book were just left tumbling…

The book has a very tight binding so break your book in properly and ingnore all the cracking noises, just break it a few times and it's still hard to lay flat open. The book is a good book though and probably if it matters will be worth some money one day since their putting these out once a year for xmas. So jump on it now while it's reasonably priced. I haven't read mine but I've learned the story through you tube and it sounds fun. I just bought book two for sixteen bucks off instocktrades.com half the price of last years. So buy them when they come out. Thx and happy reading.

One of the best Santa stories I’ve ever read. The artwork was beautiful and the ending was great for Me.

I did not have any initial thoughts on this, it seen it in my recommended and was pleasantly delighted I love this and plan to read the rest

Graphic novelist Grant Morrison teams up with illustrator Dan Mora to provide a fantastical adaptation of the Santa Claus tale, with a Norse mythology twist. Lost love, a maniacal narcissist, supernatural creativity, Krampus, humor... it's all here in one of the most beautifully illustrated stories I've ever read. This is not a Christmas story for little ones, but it's a fun story for middle school kids and beyond.

You have Grant Morrison telling the origin of Santa Claus. There's really no need to provide more for a review, but I will.Dan Mora is great on art, He's got scenery that I would love to frame and the bodywork delivers whether it's scenes with action or dialogue. Sometimes the quality of faces suffer, but 1 instance in a 1000 is nothing to worry over.I have the entire series in individual issues, but knew I would love it collected to read easier and more often.I was disappointed to see that the Special issue published at about the same time as the hardcover was not provided.The book itself is presented in a larger page size than the original comic, and the binding seems great so far. There isn't much in the way of bonus features.

I look forward to Christmas for multiple reasons but Christmas comics are at the top of the list. This is great artwork and storytelling. I would highly recommend

Great story with fantastic art, but the quality of the publisher is heavily lacking.

Incredible art and story telling make this the most epic of Christmas tales. An absolute classic and worth a read even out of the festive season!

What an incredible take on Santa Claus! The story is wonderful and the art is absolutely amazing, the art is the biggest highlight. A perfect read for the holiday.

Great story, beautifully illustrated. I have now become quite a fan of graphic novels and also, I believe, Grant Morrison and Dan Mora.

Excellent story, excellent art, and good build quality. This is a must have for a holiday collection.
