Review:

'The 20-year anniversary picture book of Tim Burton's anti-Christmas tale landed on my doormat and I just couldn't resist... Burton's charmingly macabre illustrations and witty gothicisms are well worth revisiting in book form, and this new edition includes a few sketches that have never been seen before.' --The Independent

Synopsis:

A manga retelling of Tim Burton's Classic "Holiday Fantasy". Jack Skellington comes vibrantly to life in this beautiful redrawing of Tim Burton's seminal children's horror fantasy. English version of the original Japanese manga. Jack Skellington, King of Halloweentown, is bored. He wants more than just Halloween to rule. When he discovers Christmastown, replete with goodwill to all men and a large man in a red suit, he rounds up a gang of colourful followers and sets about hijacking the holiday...A hugely entertaining fantasy; a love story; a morality tale - "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is a true masterpiece of the imagination. Tim Burton's gleeful holiday tale is translated brilliantly to the manga format, with bold panes and stylish artwork recreating and reinventing the atmosphere of one of the most successful animated films of all time.
