Archie #384

The holiday spirit is in full swing on Dan DeCarlo's charming cover for this February 1991 issue, where Betty holds a lantern and Veronica strums a guitar and clutches a carol sheet as the two go Christmas caroling — only to be greeted at the door by a delighted Archie, who's already angling to stand under the mistletoe. The friendly rivalry between Betty and Veronica plays out in that classic Riverdale way, with both girls vying for Archie's attention amid wreaths, snow, and seasonal good cheer. It's a warm, festive snapshot of everything that makes the Archie gang so enduringly fun, paired inside with the story "Oh Christmas Tree!" from writer Hal Smith and artist Stan Goldberg.
