'Christmas on Bear Mountain' is one of Barks's funniest holiday stories and a true landmark in comics history, and offers a fascinating look at a roughedged, genuinely nasty character whom Barks would soon soften... Scrooge aside, there's plenty of fun to be had in this volume.

A UNIQUE MIX OF COMICS, POP CULTURE AND AMERICANA The season's first book from Fantagraphics' new imprint Marschall Books is Drawing Power, a lively collection of mass market print advertising from the 1890s to the recent past, starring both cartoonists and cartoon characters.
