Our monthlong celebration of Xmas-themed comics continues with a tribute episode to the late great writer/illustrator Keith Giffen, who passed away in October 2023 at the too-young age of 70. Keith's career touched every corner of superhero comicdom, most notably the longrunning Justice League International series he co-created with J. M. DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire.
In the first half of this episode, we'll be taking a long, chaotic, tangent-filled look at Keith's character Ambush Bug, culminating in the AMBUSH BUG STOCKING STUFFER xmas one-shot released December 1985. Brace yourself!
Then, we'll dive into holiday hijinks with The Main Man himself, Lobo! Keith's most xtreme creation accepts a bounty hunter contract on Santa Claus himself in THE LOBO PARAMILITARY CHRISTMAS SPECIAL from December 1991, before facing the metatextual and literal fallout of that battle in THE AUTHORITY VS LOBO: JINGLE HELL, released December 2003.
Rest in peace, Keith Giffen! Thanks for the decades of awesome comics. <3
Happy holidays, everyone!
