Archie Giant Series Magazine #240

In "Shopworn," Archie's heart is set on chopping down a real tree for Christmas, a tradition he believes captures the season's true spirit—much to the dismay of Reggie and Veronica, who prefer the easy convenience of a store-bought artificial tree. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with warm, expressive art by Harry Lucey, inks by Marty Epp, and crisp lettering by Bill Yoshida, this 1975 holiday tale captures the classic Archie charm with a gentle, relatable clash of holiday ideals. The cover by Harry Lucey perfectly captures the whimsy and nostalgia of the season.
