Really? Really? BC articleArt by Dan Mora...  Now I will admit, the Santa Claus as a noir PI strip on Thrillbent has been a blast, but I don't know about this one. -M |

It's already been done, Grant: In the interview he mentioned that he liked a half remembered film from the 60's that had a similar idea and the Life and Times of Santa Claus was exactly the film I thought of. There's also Nicholas St. North of the Guardians book series who was a bandit before becoming the jolly saint we know. Not terribly original but it could be okay. |

There have been a million origin-of-Santa stories, the best remembered being Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Life and Adventures was just always my favorite, and it truly is only "half remembered". |

Grant's looks more grim dark.
I scoffed at first but like the idea more and more.

This has already been done in comics, too.... but I'm sure Grant Morrison's version will be massively twisted and probably entertaining.

I'm just crossing my fingers for the possibility of a Klaus/The Filth crossover down the line.

Santa Claus is coming to town is "the" origin for me! Is "Life and adventures" the one illustrated by Mike Ploog? |
