Alien Xmas WTF

The older I get, the more I feel like an alien who doesn’t get the concept of Christmas at all. Don’t get me wrong — I like basically anything that lights up, and I think we should all try a little harder to be nice to other people. But what is up with this mythological mish-mash of elves and biolumenescent caribou celebrated by christians on the date of a Roman pagan festival? Why is there an old man with time-travel powers putting lumps of coal into wooden shoes and breaking into my house to shove candy canes in my socks in the middle of the night? What does any of it mean?!

Well, now there is a song made by aliens just for me and everyone else who feels like I do — and it totally rocks.

Soon the elves will all rise up and stab out Santa’s eyes. Ho ho ho ho ho!

This holiday masterpiece was composed and performed by the legendary Old 97’s who have been rocking out for thirty years and spent three hours getting made up like aliens, with lyric from James Gunn who directed this Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special that is available for streaming on Disney+.

Though we have a general consensus that the Star-lord Special Edition by Claremont and Byrne is one of the awesomest Bronze Age comics, Star-lord fans know a few gems awaiting those who dig deeper. Consider this origin story by the prolific Doug Moench. And dig that opening splash panel by Tom Sutton!

Do you absolutely desire your own copy printed on tree corpses? You can buy Star-lord’s origin in Marvel Spotlight #6; Marvel Comics, 1980. Oh, the scent of vintage paper!

Cover by Bill Sienkiewicz and Joe Rubinstein.

We were late to the Guardians of the Galaxy party in 2014. Like, so late, everyone else went home and there’s no beer left. By now, you have surely combed the Star-lord Archives at Longbox Graveyard and discovered panels from a black-and-white version of Claremont & Byrne’s mini-masterpiece. Only a total n00b would fail to behold the glory that is the vintage Star-lord Archive at Diversions of the Groovy Kind.

But you know what? The Star-lord party may be over, but we’re just going to hang out on the front lawn and get cosmic anyway. Because this was a favorite tale of ours for many years, and it still provides a certain nostalgic bliss: the emotional drama of that double splash against a burning horizon, the swashbuckling space opera, and yes – the awesomeness of unleashing the kraken!

We scanned about 2/3 of this micro-epic before the neighbors complained about the Star-lord party and we had to get off your lawn. You will just have to go buy the original if you want to finish frolicking across the galaxy. Our scans include the great essay at the end of the book which talks all about the cultural significance of Star Wars and the madness of putting together a comic book. Enjoy!
