Santa Claus is gone, but what comes next?

Funny in a bitter way, the new book by Tzerocalcare is an allegory that combines political and social criticism with caustic satire of modern morals. Designed in the traditional colorful style of classic fairy tales, but alternating with black and white comic pages of "police report" to create an original "festive" book. It achieved huge success in Italy, with about 100,000 copies sold in the first weeks of its release, in the winter of 2020. The artist is considered one of the greatest contemporary representatives of the renowned Italian comic scene, and recently his work "Tear Along the Dotted Line" is featured on Netflix.
