Hope For The New Year With The Comico Christmas Special
A happy New Year to all! Still feeling a little of the Christmas spirit as well, so a special treat, with the Comico Christmas Special #1 (December, 1988) with a cover by Dave Stevens.
All stories written by Doug Wheeler, with "Living For Christmas" art by Ken Holewczynski (where a man uses suspended animation to sleep through non-Christmas months), "Too Many Santas" with art by Bernie Mireault (with a boy trying to find out why there are Santas on every corner), "The Stiflemix Diaries" with art by Tim Sale (with the adventurers of the Noel Liberation Brigade, fighting to stop Christmas references when it isn't Christmas), "One Winter Day" with art by Bill Willingham and Chris Warner (dealing with snow shoveling during a heavy snowfall) and, referencing the cover, "Traditions Everlasting" with art by Steve Rude and Al Williamson (with aliens finding Christmas artifacts in a nuclear devastated world).

A More Fun New Year
Spike was an ordinary kid of the time who got into extraordinary trouble, including being mistaken for the young king (Philip) of Patrania, leading to Spike being kidnapped by the evil Count Alex.
Spike appeared starting in New Fun #3 (April, 1935) up to More Fun Comics #30 (March-April, 1938), all predating the first appearance of Superman in Action Comics.
