The following is my first post from the
OgMog Blog:
There are two things I love in this world (and only two): Batman and Christmas specials. So imagine my delight, surprise, and immediate impulse-buy-mentality when earlier in the evening I came upon this little gem of a record just sitting in a store window.
Exciting Christmas Stories featuring
Superman,
Wonder Woman, and
Batman.
That's right: three amazing, action-packed holiday tales starring the world's greatest superheroes...and Wonder Woman.
Superman in "Light up the Christmas Tree, Mr. President!"
Batman in "The Christmas Carol Caper" Parts I & II
Wonder Woman in "The Prisoner of Christmas Island"
My favorite part about the album is how paradoxically happy Batman seems to be about Christmas on the front cover. I mean, Christmas is typically associated with family, right? I guess it makes complete sense that a guy whose parents were brutally murdered before his eyes when he was eight years old is fully embracing the holiday season (complete with Santa beard!)...but hey, I guess things were different back in
1977.
