A Christmas Peril
After selling over a million copies of his parodies of Harry Potter and the Narnia books, Mike Gerber is now giving the business to Charles Dickens in A Christmas Peril.
What happened AFTER A Christmas Carol? Did Ebenezer Scrooge's new, manic charitableness soon become irritating? Is it just heartwarming crippled children who'd ask for money from a reformed Scrooge? And what does the international proletarian revolution have to do with all this?
All these questions and more are answered in A Christmas Peril. I highly recommend it as a holiday gift for anyone you know, including yourself, who likes world-class comic writing.
