Christmas Covers - December 16





For each day of December until Christmas I'm featuring a Comic Cover Advent Calendar. Just move your mouse over the image to reveal today's special Holiday comic cover. Click on the image to get a larger version from GCD.



Today's cover is 1947's Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #76. We once again have a cover by the legendary Walt Kelly, this time depicting those lovable scamps Huey, Duey & Louie attempting to help their Unca Donald fill-in for Santa.



Just 9 more 'get-ups' until Santa!
