Archie: The Best of Dan DeCarlo #3

The third volume celebrating Dan DeCarlo's work on Archie arrives with a wonderfully festive cover — penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Jim DeCarlo — where a decorated Christmas tree becomes the scene of some holiday mischief, with Veronica looking on in exasperation as Betty and Archie get a little too cozy among the ornaments and garland. The speech bubble says it all: "Betty, I wanted you to decorate the tree, not Archie!" This 2011 IDW collection gathers stories by writer Frank Doyle and artist Dan DeCarlo, with inking by Rudy Lapick and lettering by Victor Gorelick, offering a warm and witty look at Riverdale's most enduring friendships and rivalries.
