This is another one where I’m not 100 percent certain where the inspiration came from. It’s another Siegel City story (although the last of those for a while, until 2021, to be precise), and once again I’ve branched out from Other People’s Heroes into new characters. I think it’s one of those stories that came to me, Jeopardy-style, in the form of a question: what if a crook found out when the superheroes in his city were having their Christmas party? How could he take advantage of that? And who would stop him? It’s shorter than a lot of my other Christmas tales, but I like it.
And hey, one more time, three cheers for the artwork of Jacob Bascle! You may remember him from such books as literally every Siegel City story, as well as his professional comic book design and lettering. Check him out on Facebook or visit his online portfolio!
