BOOM! Studios has unveiled a first look at Klaus and the Crying Snowman #1, a new story set within the world of the Eisner Award-nominated reimagining of the Santa Claus mythology for modern audiences from writer Grant Morrison (Green Lantern, All Star Superman) and artist Dan Mora (Power Rangers: Shattered Grid), available in stores on December 12, 2018.

The book continues the annual holiday tradition of new Klaus comic book releases, dating back to the franchise launch, and features a main cover and a variant cover both illustrated by Mora, as well as a variant by Humberto Ramos.

“Only Grant, Dan, and Ed could bring you this epic addition to the Klaus mythology, with our hero battling giant tree-monsters on Earth and alien invaders on the moons of Saturn, all while making time to unravel the mystery at the heart of the Crying Snowman,” said Eric Harburn, Senior Editor, BOOM! Studios. “And as with every new adventure, Klaus reminds us what lies at the heart of the holiday season: helping those who need it most.”

Also available are Klaus: The New Adventures of Santa Claus, a new hardcover collection of the hero’s holiday specials, and Klaus: How Santa Claus Began, a hardcover collection of the original award-winning series. Klaus and the Crying Snowman #1 will be available for sale in December 2018.
