Archie Giant Series Magazine #144

A snowy holiday scene sets the tone perfectly for this 1967 Archie Giant Series entry — Archie and his friends are caroling outside in the winter night, saxophone and guitar in hand, only for a grumpy Mr. Lodge to lean out his window demanding earplugs rather than an encore. Dan DeCarlo's cover pencils capture the gang's cheerful obliviousness with his trademark warmth, and the oversized Christmas stocking looming above the title promises a full "giant" helping of seasonal Riverdale fun courtesy of writer Frank Doyle and artist Dan DeCarlo.
