Archie Comics Super Special #6
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Santa Claws," the gang embraces the holiday spirit with a festive twist: a Christmas tree-cutting contest to benefit the less fortunate. Archie and Jughead team up to claim victory and win Veronica’s promise of a month of exclusive dates, while Betty and Reggie join forces to thwart them and secure the biggest tree for themselves. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Bob White with inks by Marty Epp, this holiday special features a festive cover by Dan Parent and Rich Koslowski.
In a festive twist on rivalry, Archie and Jughead team up to cut down the biggest Christmas tree in Riverdale, spurred on by Veronica’s promise of a month of exclusive dates to the winner. Meanwhile, Betty and Reggie join forces to outdo them, turning the holiday hunt into a high-stakes race where friendship, generosity, and a little mischief collide.
When Archie stumbles upon Jingles, a mischievous brownie from Santa’s workshop who’s invisible to adults, he quickly turns the little magical helper into a prankster-in-residence. With Jingles weaving harmless chaos through the town and dazzling Archie’s friends—especially his glamorous girlfriends—the summer heat gets a whole lot more fun.
When The Archies kick off their world tour in India, Archie finds himself swept up in the glamour of Bollywood star Amisha Mehta, sending ripples of rivalry through Betty, Veronica, and Valerie. With music, mayhem, and a splash of romance in the air, the band’s global adventure takes a dazzling turn in the heart of Mumbai.
In "Mr. Inferno," Betty makes a desperate deal with the Devil to win Archie’s heart—only to discover Veronica has already sold her soul for the same reason. When the two rival love interests confront the devilish contract, their shared fate takes an unexpected turn.
In "The Unkindest Cut," Veronica’s well-intentioned attempt to hem Betty’s skirt goes hilariously awry, leaving the hem uneven and Betty forced into a comically tilted walk home—her posture a constant balancing act. The story captures the kind of awkward, lighthearted mischief that defines teen friendship, with just the right mix of embarrassment and charm.
