Gideon Kendall, the spectacular artist behind some of great reads like WAIT IT GETS WORSE and the all-ages hit MEGAGHOST, returns to East Side Mags with his new-ish book HARVEY KURTZMAN’S MARLEY’S GHOST!
We say “new-ish” because it’s largely a story most people are familiar with however there’s a bit of a twist on ole Charles Dicken’s tale. Here’s the info:
ABLAZE and Comixology Originals are proud to present Harvey Kurtzman's Marley's Ghost. Enjoy this Eisner Award Winning version of Dickens' A Christmas Carol in graphic novel form, in print for the first time!
Marley's Ghost is the posthumous completion of legendary creator Harvey Kurtzman's adaptation of the classic Charles Dickens' novel―A Christmas Carol. Kurztman's ambitious concept for Marley's Ghost began in the 1950s―as an early "graphic novel"―but was never realized. Now, over 70 years later, writers Josh O'Neill and Shannon Wheeler expand upon Kurtzman's extensive adaptation notes while illustrator Gideon Kendall's outstanding artwork utilizes Kurtzman's breakdowns and stylistic choices to make this long-lost vision a reality!
This great holiday read is ideal for ages 10 and up due to some “spooky stuff and talk of death”!
Join us as we welcome back Gideon on December 21 from 2pm-5pm. We’ll have copies of the book that Gideon will be happy to sign and possibly some other surprises as well!
