comment |
Once upon a time, there was a jolly old man dressed in red with a belly full of jelly who delivered presents to all the good children of the world on his magical sleigh pulled by eight (nine if you included whatsisname) reindeer. His name was Santa Claus. Over the years since fiction existed, the big guy got tons of proposed origin stories detailing how he came to be.Then Grant Morrison decided to take a shot at the idea and wrote Klaus, a seven-issue miniseries telling us how Morrison believes Santa came into existence while also cranking the Badass Santa trope as high as it can possibly go. Dan Mora provides artwork.The series follows a man named Klaus, a former captain of the guard for the once happy town of Grimsvig. Klaus was framed for the murder of the town's Baron but managed to survive his exile thanks to a wolf he names Lilli. Returning to Grimsvig after several years, Klaus finds the town to have become quite the Crapsack World, to the point where even making a wish at a well is forbidden. The day after his anonymous return to Grimsvig, Klaus finds a sack of toys left for him by supernatural beings called the "Shining Family". Unsure of what to do at first, he soon takes it upon himself to cheer the children of Grimsvig up by delivering toys to them in secret. Klaus soon becomes dubbed the "Santa" by the folks in the village, much to the irritation of its leader, Lord Magnus. Thus, the Santa becomes a wanted man in Grimsvig. But as the series progresses, it becomes clear that there is something more that is happening within Grimsvig besides the conflict between the Santa and the village's oppressive leadership. Something is within the rocks of the town's mines, and it wants out...The series was followed by: Klaus and the Witch of Winter (2016) Klaus and the Crisis in Xmasville (2017) Klaus and the Crying Snowman (2018) Klaus and the Life and Times of Joe Christmas (2019)Not to be confused with the videogame of the same name, nor the 2019 animated movie, though the latter is another origin story for Santa Claus. |

Noodle Incident: There are so many repeated references to a "Lunar Civil War" and Klaus having fought Martians that it might as well be a Running Gag at this point. "The Life And Times Of Joe Christmas" is a series of these, including but not limited to: Klaus and Joe chasing after the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet To Come in a DeLorean, surviving in a Nineteen Eighty-Four style dystopia ruled by Sinterklaas, having to eat an entire asteroid-sized fruitcake before it can collide with the Earth, fighting a Not Zilla on Joe's wedding day, and helping The Beatles change a flat tire. |

Later his mother teaches him how to play with the toys less destructively, showing that he's just a Lonely Rich Kid whose destructive behavior is because his tyrannical father is the only role model he has. |

And the Adventure Continues: The series ends with Klaus promising to come back every year to deliver presents to Grimsvig. When Jonas points out how much time Klaus has and how big the world is, Klaus implies he will extend his promise to the rest of the world. He eventually gave up this mission when the population got too big. Plus, parents were already buying gifts for their children anyways. |

Because You Were Nice to Me: Jonas begins his Character Development and stops being a little shit when he stops accepting Magnus's superficial gifts stolen from the town's children and receives genuine love and care from his mother and Klaus. |

All Myths Are True: The sequel one-shots reveal that several other cultures' Santa Claus equivalents are actually separate individuals who've been similarly empowered the way Klaus was, including: Sinterklaas Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost) and his granddaughter Snowmaiden Father Christmas, depicted with the appearance of the Ghost of Christmas Present Mus Gerila (Father Frost), drawn to resemble the golden age Superman Joulepukka (Master Yule-Goat) Olentzero Papa Nomuz The Crying Snowman features survivors of Ragnarok as the main antagonists. |

Doing In the Wizard |
| | Klaus (Grant Morrison) (Comic Book) / int_86d4f985 |
comment |
Doing In the Wizard: A very odd case. Krampus is clearly (or at least acts like) a supernatural being, but the Shining Family (who also act like supernatural beings) that assists Klaus are heavily implied to be alien beings due to both their appearance and the sleigh◊ they grant him, which was described as a "Bright Machine from the 8-Cornered Orb." But it's Grant Morrison, so going by Animal Man and The Invisibles, aliens and supernatural beings are the same thing. Magnus spends most of the series claiming that he's made a deal with the Krampus to free him in exchange for power. Once the Krampus is liberated, it's revealed that it was Magnus' own mental illness and obsession with the arcane that made him unlock the monster's prison and the beast itself had never actually conversed with him until they met in person. |

Lonely Rich Kid: Jonas is, at first, portrayed as a Spoiled Brat who hoards all of the toys in the Barony and destroys them the moment they begin to bore him. When Klaus leaves a gift for him, he feels tempted to destroy it as part of a game, only for his mother to goad him into a less destructive form of playtime, implying that he only acts this way because his father expects it from him. By the end, he offers himself to The Krampus in exchange for the lives of the peasant children, and would later grow up to be Baron to a less miserably Grimsvig. |

Shout-Out: Klaus fought some Martians at one point. Klaus makes reference to a Man in the Moon, and that he was trapped in a glass maze under his left eye for decades. One has to wonder if his other eye has a rocket lodged in it. The villains of Crisis In Xmasville are The Partridge Family, with the current grandson being named Milhous. The titular character from The Crying Snowman is a workaholic father who died and was resurrected as the snowman he and his son built. He also gets smarter as he gets colder. |

The Corruption: A mere touch from Krampus transforms Klaus's sleigh and its dogs into hellish nightmare version of themselves. |

Adaptation Name Change |
| | Klaus (Grant Morrison) (Comic Book) / int_dc057cf3 |
comment |
Adaptation Name Change: Most obviously, "Santa Klaus" rather than "Santa Claus". Additionally, several of the other Santas have distinct spellings of their names; Joulepukka rather than Joulupukki, Mus Gerila rather than MoÈ™ Gerilă, and — most dramatically — Papa Nomuz instead of Pére Noél. |

comment |
Expy: By Crisis in X-Masville, it becomes clear that Klaus is one for Superman. In turn, Lilli is one for Krypto The Super Dog. Even back in the original miniseries, Magnus referred to Klaus as "the man who has everything". Grandfather Frost is one for Batman, considering his cave full of vehicles, weapons, and gadgets. The Evil Santa looks and talks like Lobo, even having a space-travelling hoverbike. Going by the Superman thing above, Joe Christmas is rather clearly one for Jimmy Olsen. |

Evil Wears Black: Both Magnus and Jonas wear dark clothes. Later averted following Jonas's Character Development, where he still wears black-colored clothing despite becoming kinder. |

Decomposite Character: The original miniseries initially touts itself as an Origins Episode for Santa Claus. However, Witch of Winter reveals that the series is only an origin for one Santa Claus. |

Global Warming: In The Witch of Winter, Klaus returns to Earth after a long absence and notes that the winter air feels warmer than usual. It's also what allowed her to return to the world, the melting ice caps freeing her. |

Love Makes You Evil: Magnus's Start of Darkness is implied to have been kickstarted by him seeing Klaus and Dagmar too close for his comfort and wishing that she loved him instead. |

Running Gag |
| | Klaus (Grant Morrison) (Comic Book) / int_f9f2c33 |
comment |
There are so many repeated references to a "Lunar Civil War" and Klaus having fought Martians that it might as well be a Running Gag at this point. |
