Christmas Countdown: The Mole Man's Christmas - Roger Langridge, S Garrity

I don’t normally pick up new comics (I stopped buying "new" comics around the early 1990's) but I do occasionally make an exception at Christmas when Marvel , DC etc release a decent Christmas /Holiday Special. For me a decent Christmas/holiday comic will contain fun tales of our favourite heroes by some of comics best cartoonists. One such decent Christmas comic was the "Marvel Holiday Special" back in 2005 which featured the excellent Roger Langridge illustrated tale below of the "Mole Man’s Christmas". Enjoy a festive giggle below:
Above the cover to the "Marvel Holiday Special" 2005. For fans of Mr Langridge’s work he also produced a equally fun tale in the 2006 Holiday Special (my only other Marvel Holiday Special issue) entitled “How Fin Fang Foom Saved Christmas”.

    I'm trying to remember whether I've got this issue or not, McS. It looks familiar so I may have, but if not, at least I can read it here on your blog. Ta very much. (You do realise some people will call you a 'comics pirate'?)

    I've been called worse Kid. Actually when I started to scan this I thought it was a 4 pager ( that never seems a problem to me) but realised it was longer after I started and was too invested to stop. I'm sure it won't be an issue considering the few folk that read this blog now to Marvel/Disney who are known for their generous spirit lol

    I love Roger Langridge's artwork. This is a treat example I've never seen before. Thanks, and Merry Christmas.

    He is an excellent cartoonist I even picked up some of his Muppet comics.
