Archie Comics Super Special #1

Archie, Betty, and Veronica share a festive mug of hot cocoa on this cheerful 2012 holiday special, bundled up in winter gear and wreathed in holly as the rest of Riverdale's familiar faces peek in from circular portraits around the border. Cover artists Dan Parent and Rich Koslowski give the whole scene a warm, inviting glow — complete with a golden bow and a sprig of mistletoe right at the top. At $9.99, this Christmas Spectacular is a generous package of Riverdale holiday fun, headlined by a story from writer Eve Nagler and artist Stan Goldberg.
