I don't think so, as “Sir Spectrus” in the story is an unrelated character. The story is "Ghostchasers", a loose adaptation of the "Lonesome Ghosts" cartoon.

That would be this, then?

Not released in German yet, so I can't comment on any translation choices. The art certainly makes me curious. I confess to being a bit torn on Sciarrone's style. Sometimes it works really well (I consider his first two PKNA issues among the very finest comic art ever produced!), sometimes it just looks flat/unrealistic and odd...

It's supposed to be "Very Merry Unchristmas!" Inducks is taking the "Very Merry Christmas!" at face value because that's what it says on the printed page - which is wrong (lettering error). Fitting a Wonderland story is subjected to such... strangeness.

Well, what it says on the printed page is The Beagle Boys' Very Merry Christmas!, not just Very Merry Christmas!… so it seems INDUCKS is doing a sort of mashup of the table-of-contents, abridged but non-typoed title (Very Unmerry Christmas) and the title-page, full-length but typoed title (The Beagle Boys' Very Merry Christmas!). Which is kind of weird. 



At any rate, on the Wiki, I went with The Beagle Boys' Very Unmerry Christmas!, since that's what the title page of the story would have said if not for the lettering error. I even fixed said lettering error on the page image. 

I guess that means you can also fix this:

Hahah! Thanks for catching this… see, new Wiki pages are usually created by copying the code of an old one and switching the relevant details. It's not too rare that we miss one.

Er—there is no three titles for the Wonderland story... When referring to these stories titles shorthand, I generally don't include the characters' name... To take this issue as an example, I'd just say "Coat of Christmas Magic". But yes, for the sake of accuracy, the title for the Wonderland story is, in full, "The Beagle Boys' Very Merry Unchristmas!"

I just did the same in creating the page for Ellroy, by copying the Ellsworth code. Thanks for posting all about the wiki as I nearly forgot about my wish to contribute more...
