Welcome to November at Graham Crackers Comics. Fall has officially arrived, and with it comes colder weather, falling leaves, and Thanksgiving! It’s the time of the year for spending time with friends and family around the Thanksgiving dinner table.
Did you know your favorite comic book covers from the past have celebrated the holiday in grand fashion by depicting their own characters at the Thanksgiving Day table in homage to the famous Norman Rockwell painting. One of Norman Rockwell’s most adored paintings, “Freedom From Want” was never actually on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post. It was an illustration that appeared inside the magazine. Still that image was so powerful that it inspired lots of variations, many on the covers of your favorite monthly comic books!
Here are just a few of the best ones . . .
