"Santa and the Angel" is a re-telling of a story with the same title in Four Color 128, "Santa Claus Funnies." The illustrations here are repurposed art from the original appearance. The original story was formatted comic-style six panels to a page with no balloons, just a narrative hand-lettered beneath each panel.
