12 Days of Christmas: "The Year Without a Christmas!"

Season's Greetings, Groove-ophiles! In Shazam! #11 (December 1973), the Marvel Family banded together to rescue Santa Clause, himself, and keep the evil Sivana Family from causing the worst thing imaginable to happen. They had to stop "The Year Without a Christmas!" It's Yuletide smiles that go on for miles from Elliot S! Maggin and Kurt Schaffenberger.
