Archie Giant Series Magazine #568

In "Holiday Havoc," Betty and Veronica go head-to-head in a festive shopping challenge, each aiming to outdo the other by buying the perfect gift for Archie with just thirty dollars. When Veronica takes a shortcut by enlisting her father’s help to secure a luxury watch, the stakes of their rivalry take a surprising turn. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—pencils and inks by Dan DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida—this 1987 issue captures the classic Archie charm with a dash of holiday mischief. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the playful tension of the moment.
