Eisner Award WINNER - Best Digital Comic of 2018!

"(Marley's Ghost) is holiday magic… For fans of great comics, Christmas has come early." – New York Magazine/Vulture

Enjoy this new version of Dickens' A Christmas Carol in graphic novel form - Harvey Kurtzman's Marley's Ghost.

Marley's Ghost is the posthumous completion of legendary creator Harvey Kurtzman's adaptation of the classic Charles Dickens' novel—A Christmas Carol. Kurztman's ambitious concept for Marley's Ghost began in the 1950s—as an early "graphic novel"—but was never realized. Now, over 60 years later, writers Josh O'Neill and Shannon Wheeler expand upon Kurtzman's extensive adaptation notes while illustrator Gideon Kendall's outstanding artwork utilizes Kurtzman's breakdowns and stylistic choices to make this long-lost vision a reality!

Harvey Kurtzman (1924-1993) was the creator of MAD, Playboy's Little Annie Fanny and TRUMP, and Help Magazine. He is considered one of the most influential creators in the history of sequential art with the industry's Harvey Awards named in his honor.

Gideon Kendall is an illustrator and animation designer whose clients include Disney, Cartoon Network, and The New York Times. Marley's Ghost is his first full-length graphic novel.

Josh O'Neill is the Eisner and Harvey Award-winning writer and editor of Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream. Shannon Wheeler is the Eisner Award-winning creator of the comic Too Much Coffee Man and a contributor to The New Yorker.

"As a stylist, as an illustrator, as an innovator of layout, as a storyteller, he made everything that came before inadequate—and everything after transformative." —Anthony Bourdain on Harvey Kurtzman

"Kurtzman was a God!" —Terry Gilliam

Marley’s Ghost took a classic story and made it feel fresh. This was my first experience reading a graphic novel, and I loved it. The illustrations were incredible and coupled with the familiar story made for an enjoyable read. This novel will attract readers of all ages. It has the charm of A Christmas Carole, with its messages of kindness, hope, and the ability of changing for the better, but it also contains illustrations that take the story to the next level. It is a combination of the old and the new in the very best of ways. It maintains the integrity of the classic story while at the same time modernizing it with an extraordinary graphic interpretation. It will surely attract a new audience, but I am not sure who will enjoy it more, those already familiar with the story or those who might have missed out on it without the update. Not to be missed.

Great book. Gideon Kendall did one hell of a job continuing what started as a project for the late great Harvey Kurtzman. As someone who grew up reading MAD magazine, I can honestly say I thought I was seeing Kurtzman drawings, and not someone drawing as Kurtzman. We can only wonder what the book would be like if actually Kurtzman had done it, because judging by the images at the end, maybe he was going to experiment with a bold palette of colors. And of course, Dickens' tale is always great. I never get tired of it.

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2019
I picked this up, thinking that there might be something new & different in this retelling of the story. There was not. It's a perfectly good rendition of the Dickens classic, true to the original story that I'm already so familiar with. If you don't know the story by heart, or you're a Kurtzman superfan, then this is a fine comic. For me, it was just more of the same.

I love this story and I am always fascinated by all the interpretations I've come across over the years. This one was fabulous and was so fun to read. I really enjoyed it! Everyone that worked on this graphic novel did a real solid for Mr. Kurtzman, and I think he would have been very proud of how it turned out. BRAVO!!!
