“The Christmas Present”

In "The Christmas Present," Archie Comics Digest #88 (1988), Salem—usually more interested in mischief than holiday cheer—finds himself wandering the snowy streets on Christmas Eve, drawn not by the festivities but by the quiet needs of the neighborhood animals. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with warm, expressive art by Stan Goldberg, this heartwarming tale captures a rare moment of quiet kindness from a character usually known for his antics. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the season’s spirit with its festive charm.
