Unspoken Issues 155.6 - Marvel Holiday Special 1993 part 6
In this episode, we journey into the emotional depths of Marvel’s cosmic universe with the story Yule Memory, an eight-page gem from Marvel Holiday Special 1993. This tale reunites the powerhouse duo of writer Jim Starlin and artist Ron Lim—architects of Marvel’s Infinity era—to explore an unexpectedly intimate chapter in the life of the Mad Titan himself: Thanos. Set between the cosmic events of Infinity War and Infinity Crusade, this story offers a quieter, more reflective Thanos. As he oversees the cleanup of one of his old bases, a discarded doll triggers a powerful memory: a time when he raised young Gamora and tried—awkwardly, almost tenderly—to give her a taste of a normal childhood. Holidays, birthdays, and even a "Yule celebration" modeled after Earth's Christmas all make appearances in this unexpected flashback.
From Ron Lim’s haunting visuals to Starlin’s signature emotional complexity, this story lands as one of the most quietly powerful entries in the special.
