Archie's Christmas Stocking #1


This was a delightful holiday special from 1993 comprised of several winter themed adventures. In it, Archie's dad is having trouble getting into the holiday spirit, Archie and Jughead travel far and wide for the perfect Christmas tree, and the eternal teenager gets into a sticky situation as the Riverdale Mall Santa. 

There's also two classic yarns from 1958 and 1963. Both while a little dated, were quite charming little stories. In the older tale, Archie plays Santa at Veronica's Christmas party and ends up finding himself under the mistletoe- a lot! Then in the older classic adventure, Archie buys matching gifts for Betty and Veronica. But he accidentally switches the tags and has to do the old switcheroo in order to not get in the doghouse with either.

All this plus a very alluring cover with Betty and Veronica as vixens. It's a near flawless holiday special from Archie Comics!

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
