ProtoTykes Holiday Special/Hero Illustrated Holiday Special

    (Dark Horse, 1994)
™ and © 1994 Dark Horse Comics, Inc.
Hero Illustrated Holiday Special #1 listed as Bone Special Edition #1

This 12-page full color one-shot was John Byrne’s “stocking stuffer” to all of comics fandom for the Christmas holiday of 1994. Rather, it was a bagged comic insert stuffed into the nineteenth issue of Hero Illustrated magazine , featuring the Prototykes— four tiny “robo-tots” who briefly entered the comics universe that same year as back-up features in another Byrne title called Babe and then, apparently, disappearing for good.

The one big scene within the story that makes this holiday special worth collecting is an appearance by the real Santa Claus…yeah, the real Santa Claus!

Well hey, you either choose to believe or you don’t.
