LOVE STORY PICTURE LIBRARY "Sweet Santa" Part 1

Here's a never-published (in America) novel-length Christmas story...
...that reads (and feels) like a Hallmark Channel Christmas movie!
Don't worry about that!
There's more to come, as you'll see...
Next Week!

For Christmas this year, we're doing things a little differently.
Instead of a bunch of unrelated Christmas/winter season tales, we're presenting a movie-length "graphic novel" from England.
The artist is Luis Garcia Mozos, a Spanish artist who also did a lot of work for British comics.
Sadly, the writer credit for this story from IPC's Love Story Picture Library 507 (1964) is unknown.
BTW, this title ran over 1600 issues by doing a half-dozen issues per month covering everything from holiday tales, to period pieces involving swashbucklers, to wartime sagas to contemporary stories!
They were as popular among British teen and young adult girls as Harlequin Romances were among Americans!
