Despite the fact that one of the most famous Christmas stories of all-time, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, is a ghost story, the Victorian tradition of telling scary ghost stories at Christmastime has gone out of style (making the line, “There’ll be scary ghost stories” seem really out of place in Andy Williams’ “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”), but Dark Horse Comics is bringing that tradition back this year with its new graphic novel, Four Gathered on Christmas Eve. Four comic book superstars (Eric Powell, Becky Cloonan, Mike Mignola, and James Harren) come together to tell scary stories for the holidays with a framing sequence by Powell that needs to be seen to be believed.On the latest episode of CBR’s Dynamic Duos podcast, two of the creators behind Four Gathered on Christmas Eve, Eisner Award-winning writer/artists Eric Powell and Becky Cloonan, discussed how this spooky project came together, how the creators were chosen for the collection, and how they each chose their specific stories for the anthology. They also shared their personal love of scary stories at Christmastime and delved into their philosophies on balancing working for DC and Marvel versus doing independent comic book work.Listen on Apple Podcasts
