...we've seen the Christmastime trials and tribulations of the girls of the March family, as their father goes off to fight in the Civil War.
But now...
Beth LIVES???
That's not exactly what happens in the book, though!
The original story ends, like this comic, with Beth surviving her bout with scarlet fever!
But the novel sold so well that the publisher demanded a sequel, which Alcott produced, unwillingly, under the title Good Wives!
Beth does die in the sequel, set several years in the future, as its' revealed her heart was weakened by her earlier illness!
Since the two tales were relatively-short, current publishers combine the two into a single volume!
And most adaptations modify the timeline so Beth passes away during her initial attack!
The adaptor of Louisa May Alcott's novel is unknown, but the art is co-penciled by Rich Buckler & Dick Giordano and inked by Giordano.
