Archie Giant Series Magazine #607

A snowy holiday delight from 1990, this Archie Giant Series Magazine Little Archie issue bursts with seasonal charm: young Archie perches in a tree pointing excitedly at a full moon where Santa's sleigh and reindeer are silhouetted against the night sky, while a crowd of kids scrambles below outside the "West Side Hotel," which sports a cheerful "Reindeer Sleep Free" sign. A hand-lettered "Reggie's Valet Parkin'" sign adds a perfectly absurd touch to the wintry scene. Bob Bolling, honored here as Archie's Writer/Artist of the Month, brings his signature warmth to both the cover pencils and interior, with Rudy Lapick's inks giving the whole image a crisp, clean finish that feels just right for a January read.
