Archie Showcase Digest #19

In "Festive Foul Up," Veronica grapples with holiday gift rivalry when she realizes Archie favors Betty’s modest presents over her own. Determined to outdo her friend, she impulsively buys a diamond-studded platinum knife—meant, of course, for spreading caviar—at La Snobbe Shoppe. The story unfolds as Veronica convinces Betty to swap gifts, setting off a lighthearted holiday mix-up. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo with inks by Rudy Lapick and letters by Bill Yoshida, the issue features a cover by Dan Parent.
