Scott’s Comic Book Cover Advent Calendar - Day 10
December 10th, 2004
Filed under: Comics
One of the best Christmas stories of all time is “The Gift of the Magi.” This is the story where the wife sells her hair to buy her husband a watch fob, and he sells his watch to buy her a fancy set of combs* (or in the Saturday Night Live version, Donald Trump sells his yacht to buy Ivana a diamond encrusted front door, and Ivana sells the mansion to buy him an enormous gold anchor.) Today’s Advent cover is Classics Illustrated #15: The Gift of the Magi.
15 Days until Christmas!

*The story always seemed unfair to me. After all, she can grow her hair back, but his watch is gone for good.
