December Graphic Novel Of The Month

Walt Disney's Donald Duck Vol. 21: Christmas in Duckburg

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SXCRBKG

When Donald decides to let the boys pick their own Christmas present they choose — a Ferris Wheel! Only Uncle Scrooge can pay for a Ferris Wheel, but he’ll only do it if Donald goes to Canada to pick up a 100-foot Christmas tree for the town square. Oh, if only it were that easy! Then, Donald becomes a firefighter and dreams of rescuing a damsel in distress and proving he is brave and noble in “The Lovelorn Fireman.” And, when Uncle Scrooge notices an unidentified island in the South Pacific, the race is on for him to claim it for himself! Carl Barks delivers another superb collection of imaginative exuberance, rollicking high adventure, and all-around cartooning brilliance.

Welcome to Long Time Ago, a journey into the Marvel Star Wars Legends Comics. Our host Angus first made the jump to hyperspace and a galaxy far far away by reading Marvel Star Wars Vol 1 Issue #9 and never looked back! Travel back to 1977 into the origins of the series and discover how comics has supported fandom and in some ways shaped the Star Wars universe.  This thirtieth episode is a review of the fourth issue of Dark Horse Comics's adaptation of the novel Splinter of the Mind's Eye. "Deep in the swamplands of the planet Mimban lies a powerful crystal, capable of giving its possessor an invincible mastery of the Force. In the right hands, it could save the galaxy. But in the wrong hands, it could destroy it. While the explosion of the first Death Star still reverberates through the cosmos, Luke Skywalker finds that the war he thought he won was only a battle, and that the dark side of the Force still stalks the galaxy."
