A Die Hard Christmas: The Illustrated Holiday Classic

Let’s face it, there’s few films that men have their fingers crossed more for in the Christmas movie line up than that of Die Hard. Whilst it might not be your traditional festive, feel-good fare, it is a holiday classic in our opinion and that’s why we’re hoping to see A Die Hard Christmas: The Illustrated Holiday Classic under our tree this year – especially if the movie doesn’t make it into the Christmas movie rotation.

Die Hard is a real favourite of ours here at Coolector HQ and chances are we’ll actively seek it out at Christmas because it just isn’t Christmas without seeing Hans Gruber plummeting from the Nakatomi Tower. This awesome looking A Die Hard Christmas: The Illustrated Holiday Classic is a book that is the brainchild of the wonderfully monikered, Doogie Horner who authored the book, and illustrator JJ Harrison who was responsible for the top notch recreations of Bruce Willis et al in illustrative form.

With an illustrative style that is based upon the Night Before Christmas poem, the look and feel of this cracking book will be instantly recognisable and will evoke memories of your favourite Die Hard moments.
