Santa Claus + Robin Hood + Superman = KlausApparently an origin story. It's dark, gritty, funny and whimsical. Klaus is hot.

Merry Christmas and behold the true story of Santa!*cough*...as told by Grant Morrison.<--Ho, ho, ho, bitches I was expecting something absolutely off the wall when I read this because, well, it's Grant Morrison retelling the origin of Santa.But this was actually pretty normal. I mean, sure it's a barbarian fantasy thing with Klaus (Santa) fighting evil and magically making toys to combat the unhappiness caused by a demon-controlled king.BUT.It was a coherent story. <--did not expect that from M...

Bloody hell! Ima buy a print copy of this book!! Oh and I buddy read this with some of my MacHalo dolls, Fluffy & Hoopla KittyBefore I commence with some awesome graphics, I must say.... I FREAKING LOVE HOT ASS, WOLF LOVING KLAUS. There, I shall proceed! Enjoy 😘Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾

If you find typical Christmas tales such as Twas the Night Before Christmas a tad sentimental and cloying, try out this alternative origin story for Santa Claus by Grant Morrison, a variation of an historical fantasy set in the middle ages, featuring a warrior named Klaus who would defeat an Evil Lord Magnus who enslaves his men in mines and cancels Yuletide and toys for children. Klaus, with a touch of psychedelic magic and a very real commitment to Doing Good for the people in this land and es...

It’s Yuletime but there’s no seasonal respite for the put upon townsfolk of Grimsvig – the evil Lord Magnus is forcing the men to work in the coal mines on Christmas Day while the children are banned from having toys or any fun. But magic is in the air so you better not cry – Santa Klaus is coming to town! Dubbed “All-Star Santa” by some clever wag, Grant Morrison and Dan Mora’s Klaus is the secret origin of Santa Claus, and it’s brilliant! If you’re familiar with Morrison’s work, you’ll know he...

This surprised me because its a straight forward story and a pretty decent one. Fantasy, xmas and a little folklore mixed very well without Morrison getting completely lost in his own head

Take Rankin & Bass's Santa Claus Is Coming to Town , mix in some high fantasy and German folklore and you have Grant Morrison and Dan Mora's Klaus. I was very leery going into this, afraid this would be some metaphysical, Vertigo-like Grant Morrison nonsense, but Morrison gives us a straight forward story and it's fantastic. Accompanied by some blisteringly beautiful artwork by Dan Mora. As far as I know this is only his second series and his work is already top tier. Lush, vivid backgrounds, dy...

This is a slightly different origin story to one of THE heroes on this planet: Santa CKlaus (Father Christmas).The author(s) combine Viking lore and Siberian shamanism to tell the story of Klaus, a man living in the woods and discovering one day that the town of Grimsvig has become a horribly dreary place where celebrating Yuletime (Christmas) is illegal as is being cheerful or having toys, singing, ...He knew the town in times past when it was a joyful place and is determined to make it so agai...

Muahahahaha!This is the perfect Yuletide gift! Down with the medieval oligarchy! Down with the demons from hell! Let's get SANTA CLAUS (ahem, sorry, KLAUS) over into this Yuletide mess and have him sneak into the besieged town, hack up soldiers, and sneak down chimneys!TO BRING GIFTS TO THE CHILDREN.This is the bloodiest, most awesome fantasy adventure in a comic book to capture the Christmas spirit, EVER. And I LOVE that chariot. :)

Grant Morrison takes on Santa Claus. No this is not some strange made-for-tv-movie plot. The British comic book writer has linked his impressive writing talents with the beautiful art style of Dan Mora. The result is a gorgeous Graphic Novel telling the story of Santa.Into the town of Grimsving a wandering trader of fur pelts comes. But the nice, welcoming town is not the same anymore. Something terrible has happened. Thus starts the tale of Klaus. Klaus, a former soldier of the old Baron, has l...

I know I already said this in a status update for this book but it’s the only thing I can think of to say in the beginning of this review. Ho-ho-holy s***! This book is so much better than I expected it to be! I honestly expected a gritty Santa comic to be ridiculous but it’s actually pretty awesome!What’s it about?This comic takes place in a town that has a baron who is a very evil person, he has something against people being happy, kids that aren’t his son having fun as well as having a bunch...

Dank and delightful Yuletide reading! Won't post anything else as it really needs to be experienced on its own...

Grant Morrison’s Klaus is basically Santa Claus: Year One, a comic that treats this classic folklore character as a superhero, giving him an origin story. It’s a fantastic read complete with great story and characters, and of course very fitting for the Christmas season. Morrison’s writing is usually not for everybody, but this is maybe their most accessible and straightforward comic ever, and I would have no problem recommending it to anyone who wants to get into the holiday spirit.First read:

What a perfect Christmas Eve read, telling the origins of “Klaus” in the most action packed way, and who knew Santa Claus was so hot!

Christmas with a twist.Fantastic seven part graphic novel telling the Santa Klaus origin as only Grant Morrison could.Might be a little too sweet for some, and too scary for others. For me, it was just right, and I hope to read it every year from now on.

I think this is possibly the only Grant Morrison comic that is anywhere close to straight forward. This is the origin of Santa Claus...sorta.Set in the town of Grimvist, which is under the thumb of the Baron Magnus and the Lady Dagmar, Klaus is a wild man of the forest who finds himself at the whim of the spirits, tasked with bringing yuletide cheer and bringing down the regime, as well as possibly having to fight the demon that lives under the city.It's a high fantasy setting, but most of the m...

The story has some ups and downs but the beautiful illustrations make up for them.

An entertaining retelling/origin story. Lots of action, high stakes, solid artwork.brought to you by the Picture Boxxx in the MacHalo Mansion Harem

4/10 starsReally good art (with a caveat), shitty story. The caveat: why on Earth does Klaus look like Thor and his nemesis, the bad sorcerer Magnus, like Loki from MCU?? The story: We get a glimpse of Krampus, who here plays some rather dumb villain - a dark demon with a horned goat's skull instead of a head, with a taste for naughty kids, while our good boy Klaus sports a ton of muscle, walks half-naked in the freeze and snow, and has a tame white wolf. So, maybe it's also a GoT infatuation in...
