A Die Hard Christmas: The Illustrated Holiday Classic

Description

A delightful Christmas storybook for adults based on the action-packed Die Hard movie All John McClane wants for Christmas is to reunite with his estranged family. But when his wife's office holiday party turns into a deadly hostage situation, he has to save her life before he can get home in time for Christmas! The unconventional fan-favorite movie Die Hard is now an illustrated storybook-complete with machine guns, European terrorists, and a cop who's forced to rely on all his cunning and skills (and the help of a fellow officer) to save the day. Based on the classic "Night Before Christmas" poem and filled with whimsical illustrations, this cleverly reimagined homage is destined to become a holiday classic. *Contains adult material including violence and strong language. Reader discretion is advised. Ho-ho-ho.

Author: Doogie Horner is a comedian, author, and illustrator. His comedy album A Delicate Man was an AV Club staff pick. His previous books include Some Very Interesting Cats Perhaps You Weren't Aware of (Workman, 2016), 100 Ghosts (Quirk Books, 2013), and Everything Explained Through Flowcharts (Harper Collins, 2010). He has watched Die Hard 102 times. So far. Illustrator: JJ Harrison is an illustrator of picture books, comics, and posters who lives in the haunted mountains of Utah. Despite thinking very little of his own work, somehow it is featured in some of the world's most popular art galleries and he enjoys the privilege of working with entertainment's top publishing companies. When he's not drawing he likes to skateboard, eat cereal, and play with dogs.

"A very amusing and nostalgic way to cement the fact that Die Hard and Christmas go together in a weirdly cheerful way." * Geek Mom *
