Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #279
In "Take a Flying Leap," Veronica and Betty take on a heartfelt holiday mission when a heartfelt letter to Santa from a child without an address lands in Veronica’s hands through a charity effort. With Betty’s sharp instincts and a little sleuthing, the duo sets out to find the boy’s mother and make sure he gets the Christmas he deserves—proving that kindness can fly even without a return address. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Stan Goldberg, with inks by Jimmy DeCarlo and letters by Bill Yoshida, this warm-hearted story shines with the charm of classic Archie storytelling, all wrapped in a cover by Bill Golliher and Jim Amash.
