Archie Showcase Digest #16
In "Boxed In," Veronica’s ambitious holiday display—truckloads of Christmas lights meant to spotlight her mansion—unintentionally plunges Riverdale into darkness, sparking chaos. Meanwhile, Archie’s quieter Christmas candles begin drawing curious neighbors, hinting at a spark that might just outshine the power outage. Written by Dan Parent and Bill Golliher, with art by Stan Goldberg and inks by Henry Scarpelli, this festive tale brings warmth and whimsy to Riverdale’s winter woes, all under a cover by Dan Parent.
