Santa’s carryin’ a swingin’ bag of sweet surprises this Christmas as the MARVEL HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR comes your way with a giant-size extravaganza of Marvel fun! Besides an exclusive interview with St. Nick himself about his seven decades starring in Marvel Comics, we’ll be compiling the ultimate Christmas gift-giving guide for Marvel fans. (Because Santa can’t put everything under the tree!)

We’ll have a bevy of classic Christmas-themed comics, with 20 pages of never-before-seen content including a 5-page Franklin Richards story; “If the Fates Allow,” an 8-page X-Men story; the 3-page “Last Christmas”; the 1-page “Werewolf by Eve”; and the 3-page “Santa Claus vs. the Illuminati.” Plus some classic comics, like Amazing Spider-Man #166 (18 pages and cover), the Holiday Special 1993: Spider-Man in “The Big X-Mas Blackout” by Stan Lee (8 pages), and the Holiday Special 1994: Beast and Iceman in “Catastrophe on 34th St. by Kurt Busiek and James Fry (20 pages) will be reprinted to bring you some vintage holiday cheer this holiday season.

So enjoy Christmas with the X-Men, Werewolf by Night, the Illuminati and others in the MARVEL HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR, required reading with a glass of eggnog and chestnuts roasting on an open fire!
