Captain Marvel As The Ghosts Of Christmas

Yes, I admit that this 1944 issue of Captain Marvel and the Plot Against Christmas, posted on Four Color Shadows, is a pretty obvious and simple variation on Dicken's A Christmas Carol, and there is not even any time travelling involved.  Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading every frame as the Captain taught a miserly old toy company executive the true meaning of Christmas.  It certainly put me in the Christmas spirit.
