Santa's Daughter, Jingle Belle, Adopted by
WickedCoolStuff.com For Holiday Season
NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA, Nov. 1 - Internet retailer
WickedCoolStuff.com today announced a licensing
agreement with writer/producer Paul Dini to have
his comic book character Jingle Belle "host" the
holiday shopping season at the pop-culture
retailer's website.
Jingle Belle, the daughter of Santa Claus, can't
help taking her father's holiday traditions and
turning them on end. "Jing is an energetic
teenage girl and is always at the top of her dad's
naughty list" said Brett Dewey, CEO of
WickedCoolStuff.com. "We wanted to do something
special for the holidays this year, and Paul's
character is the perfect fit for our site."
Jing (as she's know to her friends) will star in an
original weekly online comic at the e-commerce site
to be written by Dini and drawn by animator Barry
Caldwell. She'll also host "Jing's Wicked Cool
Gift Guide," and will present a full line of Jingle
Belle merchandise including Jingle Belle comic
books by Oni Press, a t-shirt, lunch box and an
exclusive, limited edition Jingle Belle Wacky
Wobbler by Funko.
In a recent article on AintItCoolNews.com Harry
Knowles wrote "What I love about Jingle Belle is
here's a character that is instantly a new layer to
the Christmas legend… Santa Claus goes all
over the world giving presents to good boys and
girls, but in his own house he has a naughty
teenage daughter… she's an immortal teenage
girl who can't help being
Christmas-y no matter what."
Paul Dini is a five time Emmy winner and is best
known for his work on various Warner Brothers
animation projects, such as "Batman: The Animated
Series" and "Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker."
Dini's other forays into comic books include his
best-selling large format DC Comics titles with
artist Alex Ross including this year's "Wonder
Woman: The Spirit Of Truth."
