Steve Gerber brought Marvel’s HOWARD THE DUCK to the newspapers at the peak of his bizarre popularity in the mid-seventies, first with Gene Colan and Val Mayerik. Gerber left and Marv Wolfman took over with Alan Kupperberg. Nobody cared either way but at least someone clipped a bunch for posterity.

Marvel teamed up with TV’s ELECTRIC COMPANY back in the seventies to present a long series of SPIDER-MAN stories for younger readers entitled SPIDEY SUPER STORIES. Here’s an ish where he teams up with Iceman as written by Roy Thomas’s ex-wife Jean and drawn by Superman’s ex-artist Win Mortimer.

Still in the seventies, here’s an Atlas-Seaboard horror tale from that company’s short-lived and almost generically titled TALES OF EVIL. It’s written by original CREEPY editor Russ Jones with VERY stylized art by veteran Jerry Grandenetti.

Not exactly Christmas but seasonal at least, here’s my all-time favorite Crumb art-ARCADE’s anarchist and most definitely not kid-friendly FROSTY THE SNOWMAN stories from 1975.
