Just as many TV shows will at some point have a Christmas special, comic books are also known to commemorate the season with appropriately themed adventures. This year, I thought we’d take a look back at Christmas of 1983, with DC Comics Presents #67.

The story begins with Superman stopping a boy — whose name is Timmy Dickens, because of course it is — from robbing a corner Santa with a toy gun. The gun, as it happens, had hypnotized the boy into turning criminal, a fact that Superman discovers when he brings Timmy to the Fortress of Solitude to break the brainwashing.

Superman tells a young boy that he was hypnotized into holding up Santa Claus. The boy then consents to being hypnotized again to provide more information.

“It’s going to hurt a LOT.”
