Get Scared this Christmas with MARLEY'S GHOST Graphic Novel

To me (and many others) Harvey was like a Pied Piper.  He would whistle and we would follow him anywhere. Even the rewarding life at Mad that I’ve had these past sixty years would never have come about if it weren’t for its creator, Harvey.

—AL JAFFEE, MAD

Almost all American satire today follows a formula that Harvey Kurtzman thought up.

—RICHARD CORLISS for TIME

In the 1950s, legendary comics creator Harvey Kurtzman had plans to adapt Charles Dicken’s classic story “A Christmas Carol” into what would become known as a graphic novel. However, the project was never brought to fruition and the pages, thumbnails, and notes that Kurtzman had created remained unfinished.

Now, under the supervision of Kurtzman Estate and book packagers Kitchen, Lind & Associates—artist Gideon Kendall, and writers Shannon Wheeler and Josh O’Neill have teamed up to finish Kurtzman’s dream project for comiXology. HARVEY KURTZMAN’S MARLEY’S GHOST adapts and expands upon Kurtzman's extensive breakdowns and notes to make his long-lost vision a reality.

Just in time for the holiday season, MARLEY’S GHOST (120 pages / color) original graphic novel based on Harvey Kurtzman’s unfinished work will be on sale Wednesday, November 8, 2017 with a special introductory price of $2.99. It is also available with a comiXology Unlimited subscription or 30 day free trial. MARLEY’S GHOST is part of the comiXology Originals line of exclusive digital content only available on comiXology and Kindle.

“It’s a pretty unusual project, this posthumous collaboration with one of the greatest writers and one of the greatest cartoonists of all time,” says Josh O’Neill. “As a creator who was massively influenced by Mad Magazine and Kurtzman’s work, Gideon Kendall is the perfect artist to realize Harvey’s vision on the page.”
