Fiction

A misanthropic miser is offered by three spirits one last chance to mend her ways and be a better person. Charles Dickens's most famous story adapted by a star of European comics. In 19th century London, on Christmas Eve, the greedy, selfish misanthrope Scrooge encounters the ghost of his dead partner, who warns him that three spirits will visit him to make him change his ways before he is damned forever. Charles Dicken's story is universally known, but in this adaptation by Munuera, Ebenezer becomes Elizabeth, and that simple yet fundamental difference, with all the social baggage it entails, may make her rather more unrepentant than her original model
