The Grooviest Covers of All Time: Santa Through the Groovy Age
Season's Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Let's wind down this super-special week with a look at Jolly Ol' St. Nicholas' comicbook cover appearances through the Groovy Age. Oh, the places that jolly old elf will go to ho, ho, ho!
The Flintstones, Christmas with the Super-Heroes, and all the Rudolph's were, indeed, treasury/tabloid-sized. The last Rudolph is digest-sized--and look at the price! The economy has always been so weird...
Special thanks to Mike's Amazing World of Comics and Grand Comics Database for being such fantastic resources for covers, dates, creator info, etc. Thou art treasures true!

As for the rest of ya, the purpose of this blog is to (re)introduce you to the great comics of the 1970s. If you like what you see, do what I do--go to a comics shop, bookstore, e-Bay or whatever and BUY YOUR OWN!
Aw, I had that Flintstones Christmas Party! I'd kill to read that again. And all those Rudolph comics - were they all Treasury-sized? Killer stuff!
