Superhero Christmas
By Stan Lee 
Illustrated by Tim Jessell

     It's Christmas Eve and Santa's ready to deliver gifts to the children of the world. Just as Santa tries to take off, the evil Ice King and his trolls show up to stop him. Watching in his state-of-the-art command center is a Super Hero called the powerful Protector. He's off to save Santa and Christmas.

     Will the Protector get to Santa in time? How will he foil the evil Ice King's plan? What will the Protector's wife and children do when they realize he needs help? It's a Superhero Christmas for all ages. It's a fun, simple read, and the ending promises more to come.

     Through his illustrations, Tim Jessell brings Lee's superheroes to life. His animated artwork is great eye candy for the kids. The black background makes the bold illustrations and large colorful fonts pop off the page. Superhero Christmas is an entertaining read for everyone. Older comic book fans looking to pass on their love of comics and superheroes now have the book to do it with - Superhero Christmas.
