Archie's Holiday Fun Digest #3

In "Toy Joy," Betty finds herself at the center of a holiday mystery when a fallen Santa—whom she helps up—gifts her his hat as a thank-you. From that moment on, strange mishaps start befalling everyone around her, while she remains untouched. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s classic art, Alison Flood’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s letters, this festive tale from Archie’s Holiday Fun Digest #3 (1999) blends charm and quiet oddity. The cover, by Stan Goldberg and Rich Koslowski, captures the season’s spirit with a touch of whimsy.
