Archie Giant Series Magazine #31

In "Santa Mantle," Moose’s football-induced memory lapses take a holiday twist when he temporarily forgets Midge—just as he’s enlisted to play Santa Claus at the school pageant. While Moose is in the red suit, Reggie seizes the chance to charm Midge, unaware of the chaos that might follow when memories (and reindeer) start to return. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Vincent DeCarlo’s lettering, this 1965 gem captures the classic Archie charm with a festive, memory-muddled mix-up. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the holiday silliness.
