  • Klaus is a fictional superhero created by writer Grant Morrison and artist Dan Mora. Debuting originally in a seven-issue comic book mini-series published in 2015 and 2016 by BOOM! Studios, the character has gone on to star in a number of other stories since. The original miniseries is styled as a sprawling superhero origin story, akin to Batman: Year One, re-imagining Santa Claus as a wild shaman of the winter in the 16th century. Drawing on folklore, westerns, and epic fantasy, Morrison and Mora intended to craft a brand-new sexy Santa for the modern age. The origin chronicles Klaus, a wild man of the winter and the forests on his mission with his pet white wolf Lilli, to restore joy to the sacred holiday of Yuletide. Set in the totalitarian town of Grimsvig, wherein joy is forbidden and Yuletide is outlawed, the series casts Santa Claus as a V for Vendetta and Robin Hood-esque figure, fighting its fascistic Lord Magnus, and the greater demonic force behind him. Klaus is an immortal mystical barbarian of joy, gifts, and runes, operating a cosmic sleigh to sail the space-ways. A member of the legendary League Of Santas, Klaus was a participant of the mythic Lunar Civil War between The Kobolts and The Moondogs.
  • BOOM! Studios is an American comic book and graphic novel publisher, headquartered in Los Angeles, California. In the early 2000s, Ross Richie and Andrew Cosby had been working in Hollywood, helping to option comic book projects as producers and working to develop them into films with the studios, but were getting increasingly frustrated with what they felt was the "tights and capes" focus of most mainstream comics companies. They went on to found BOOM! together in 2005. BOOM! is composed of four main imprints: the core BOOM! brand, the All-Ages focused KaBOOM!, Archaia, and BOOM! Box. In June 2017, 20th Century Fox purchased a minority stake in BOOM! Studios, valued at $10 million. The Walt Disney Company inherited Fox's stake in BOOM! Studios after Disney acquired 21st Century Fox's assets on March 20, 2019.
