Archie Comics Digest #248

Archie's ear-to-ear grin takes center stage on this Christmas Special edition of the digest, with the freckle-faced redhead holding what appears to be a small ornament or gift while a decorated Christmas tree, falling snowflakes, and a cheerful inset scene featuring Betty, Archie, and Veronica bundled up in winter gear fill out the festive cover — all rendered with warm, holiday charm by cover artist Dan Parent. Inside, George Gladir and Stan Goldberg team up for "The Surprise Presents," promising the kind of heartfelt seasonal fun that makes Riverdale such a welcome destination any time of year. A cozy Christmas package for fans of all ages.
