Christmas is coming, so let's have a straightforward Christmas-themed cover: specifically covers showing Santa Claus--or another character dressed as Santa Claus--heading up or down a chimney, either from the roof or fireplace. No Christmas break for the rules: • Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest.
• Your cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume published before December 2013.
• Please include the title and the issue number of the comic, preferably in bold, in case some posters cannot see your image. (Admittedly, I never do this, but this is Panic #1 by Al Feldstein)
• Covers must be posted before voting begins.
• Voting takes place on Tuesday, December 19, 2023, beginning at 12:01 am PST and ending at 11:59 AM PST.
• Vote by posting the name of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most in bold.
• The winner of the contest is the entrant with the most votes after the voting period ends.
• The winner gets to choose the theme for the next week's contest.
• If you don't think the cover fits the theme, don't post disparaging remarks about it. Just don't vote for it and keep quiet.
• If a cover is more recent than the classic time frame, kindly point it out to the poster, who may then choose an alternate before voting begins Have fun and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or blissfully sitting things out!

Panic was, by and large, not on par with Mad. But that first issue was incredible. And "The Night Before Christmas" was among the very best things that EC ever did. Elder absolutely killed on that story.

A couple of entries have inspired me to repost this sentence from the OP, with emphasis added:
"...Santa Claus--or another character dressed as Santa Claus--heading up or down a chimney, either from the roof or fireplace."

Not an entry! 'Cause it ain't a cover. Too bad it wasn't. Or this one...
