Archie Giant Series Magazine #204
In "From the Heart," Betty and Veronica take a surprising turn from their usual antics, venturing into Riverdale’s skid row with a heartfelt mission: to help a homeless man find dignity by securing him a job as a department store Santa Claus. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with warm, expressive art by Jon D'Agostino—whose pencils and inks define the story’s emotional core—this 1973 gem captures a rare moment of quiet compassion in the Archie universe, all framed by Stan Goldberg’s classic cover art.
