Manga Claus: The Blade of Kringle

80 pp. | Penguin/Razorbill | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 1-59514-134-0 $12.99
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Erik Craddock. When a disaffected elf brings an army of deranged ninja teddy bears to life the night before Christmas Eve, only Santa's samurai skills can save the North Pole and deliver Christmas joy to the world. Despite the title, the art is not done in the traditional manga style but is instead more distinctly American, making this entertaining diversion accessible to graphic novel novices.
