Archie Giant Series Magazine #617

The Riverdale gang gets into the holiday spirit with this 1991 giant-sized Christmas treat — Archie's Christmas Stocking — where a snowy cover by Dan DeCarlo captures Archie cheerfully presenting gift-wrapped packages labeled "For Carol Jenkins," "For Carol Bloom," and "For Carol Grace," flanked by Betty and Jughead, while a scandalized onlooker declares, "When I gave Archie permission to go caroling this Christmas… THIS is not what I had in mind!" Betty, Veronica, and the rest of the gang peer out from a festive stocking overhead, completing the merry scene. At a dollar cover price, this oversized issue delivers classic Archie holiday charm with a perfectly timed punchline right on the cover.
