With a sequel (finally) about to be released...
...we thought we'd present a never-reprinted comic tale from three decades ago featuring the garrulous ghoul and Lydia...which includes the creative team's take on...Barbie!
Written by Angelo DeCesare, penciled by Howie Post, and inked by Ken Selig, this tale appeared in Harvey's Beetlejuice Holiday Horror Day Special #1 (1992).
Oddly, a simple caption change would've changed his search for a birthday present into seeking a Christmas present, which would've been more seasonally-appropriate, but nobody bothered to do so!
Also note that the native "witch doctor" and his kid are orange, making them appear to be related to Willy Wonka's Oompa Loompas!
(The book was Comics Code Authority approved!)
The comic was based on the syndicated spin-off animated series which toned-down certain aspects from the film to make it "kiddie-friendly".
(Remember this was before Cartoon Network's Adult Swim and Toonami and non-broadcast venues like streaming services which could've shown a series closer in tone to the film.)
