Merry Christmas! Conan the Barbarian and Santa Claus

Santa was a Cimmerian and a barbarian of the far north. He was born on a battlefield and was already a seasoned warrior by the age of fifteen.  After years of battle he grew weary of bloodshed and decided to journey home to the north.  Unfortunately Santa lost his way and soon found himself lost in a blizzard and freezing to death.  Santa was rescued by a lost race of elves and taken to the crystal temple of Crom.  There he was given a sacred duty to deliver gifts and toys to the people of the world.  Sadly the world in which Santa dwells is a harsh and cynical place where death awaits at the bottom of every chimney.  If Santa is to deliver his message of peace and joy he must battle evil wizards, skulking monsters, fearsome warlords and terrifying demons.  He is SANTA THE BARBARIAN!

Conan the Barbarian #1 (1970) is by Barry Windsor-Smith while the Santa bits are from Action Comics #105 (1947) and Batman #27 (1945).
