☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Jingle Jangled," Archie faces off against Reggie in a holiday showdown to win the coveted roles of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus for the school's Christmas party, with Veronica favored to play Mrs. Santa thanks to her band sponsorship. When Archie’s efforts fall flat, the mischievous Jingles returns with his Brownie magic, but his well-intentioned help only leads to increasingly awkward and hilarious setbacks. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm—penciled and inked by DeCarlo and Lapick, with lettering by Vincent DeCarlo—this 1964 gem captures the season’s spirit with classic Archie humor. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo, captures the festive chaos in full swing.
In "Jingle Jangled," Archie’s hopes of playing Santa Claus at the school Christmas party take a wild turn when Jingles returns with his Brownie magic, promising to help him outdo Reggie. But as the holiday chaos unfolds, every magical fix only makes things worse—leaving Archie scrambling to save face before the big reveal.
In "Fall of the Falcon," the notorious jewel thief known as the Falcon stages a high-stakes heist at Lodge Manor, slipping past security with his uncanny ability to disguise himself. But every time he succeeds in stealing the diamond Mr. Lodge bought for his wife, Archie’s accidental interference keeps the gem returning to its rightful place—without him even knowing what he’s done.
