Every year, incoming Captain Marvel artist David Lopez takes time out of his schedule to create a comic for the holidays. You won't see these at Marvel or DC, but only on his website. This year's installment, the 18th, is a four-page black-and-white comic that again stars Lopez's own character Espiral, whom he created in the late 1990s. Take a read, but make sure to read Lopez's introduction if you're not acquainted with Spanish culture.
