There are countless Disney comic books, both rare and commonly available, with Christmas themes. Disney did publish a few very specific Christmas titled comic books.
The following is the first issue of Walt Disney’s Christmas Parade published by Dell Comics in 1949. This 132 page comic book from the Golden Age was penciled by Walt Kelly. [...]

I was thinking of doing a series of posts to highlight Christmas Comic Books from the Golden Age, Silver Age to the Present. So, I took a quick look at the Grand Comics Database and was amazed to find 77 comic book titles with Christmas in the title.

Today I was posting online about some of the cheesy comics from the 1980’s and Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew immediately came to mind.
This total cheese comic was the brainchild of Roy Thomas and Scott Shaw!. Yes, Scott has an exclamation point at the end of his name.
Anyway, I loved this as a [...]

I’ve been noticing an increase in searches for Avengers #4. This is the return of Captain America in the Silver Age. During the early rise of Marvel Comics in the 1960’s, they focused on new characters such as Spider Man, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men.
