In 19th century London, on Christmas Eve, the greedy, selfish misanthrope Scrooge encounters the ghost of his dead partner, who warns him that three spirits will visit him to make him change his ways before he is damned forever. Charles Dicken's story is universally known, but in this adaptation by Munuera, Ebenezer becomes Elizabeth, and that simple yet fundamental difference, with all the social baggage it entails, may make her rather more unrepentant than her original model...
Born in Spain, Jos-Luis Munuera grew up reading franco-belgian comics. After an art school in Granada, he tried his luck in France, and a chance encounter with Sfar opened the world of bandes dessines to him. Now considered a major name in the profession, he is known - among many others - for four volumes of Spirou & Fantasio with Morvan, well-received series The Campbells, and has been chosen to take over The Bluecoatsafter Lampil retired.
