Archie Giant Series Magazine #557

Archie, Veronica, Betty, and Jughead gather in a snowy front yard on this cheerful January 1986 holiday cover, with Archie delighting that "Christmas magic is in the air" — and indeed it is, because Santa Claus himself has landed on the rooftop just above them. Stan Goldberg's warm, lively linework captures the whole gang bundled up in winter gear, all grins and snowflakes under a star-filled night sky. It's a genuinely fun package of holiday stories, including "That Ol' Red Magic," brought to life by a creative team that includes writer Al Hartley and artists Stan Goldberg and Rudy Lapick.
