EXCLUSIVE First Look at BOOM! Studios' Klaus #1 Jackpot Cover

BOOM! Studios has provided ComicBook.com with an exclusive first look at Frazer Irving's Jackpot cover for Klaus #1, Grant Morrison's new book with artist Dan Mora, coming from the publisher in November.

The Jackpot cover is tied to BOOM! Studios' 10th anniversary year: Every month in 2015, they assign a Jackpot cover to one of their launching titles. That cover is intermixed 1 in every 100 copies of the main cover, making it extremely rare.

Also interesting to note is that Frazer signed this, "After BWS," in tribute to Barry Windsor-Smith and his work on Marvel's Conan the Barbarian comics.

Grant Morrison is one of the most prolific and best-selling writers in comics, earning a reputation for his ability to effectively revamp superheroes like Animal Man, Batman, and the X-Men. His creator-owned titles are also highly praised, including The Invisibles, Nameless, We3, and Joe the Barbarian because no one tells mythical stories better than him. In Klaus, Grant reimagines one of the biggest cultural myths in history, and we could not be more excited to pair him with one of our homegrown talents, Dan Mora (Hexed)!
What It Is: Set in a dark fantastic past of myth and magic, Klaus tells the story of how Santa Claus really came to be. Where did he begin? What was he like when he was young? And what happens when he faces his greatest challenge? Drawing on Santa Claus' wilder roots in Viking lore and Siberian shamanism—taking in the creepier side of Christmas, and characters like the sinister Krampus—Klaus is "Santa Claus: Year One."
