Katy Keene #29

This 1989 holiday installment of the Archie Romance Series wraps Katy Keene in festive cheer, set against a toy department backdrop where a dashing, mustached man holds up a "Katy Keene High Fashion Doll" box — exclaiming "Katy, I KNOW you're a real doll, but I had NO IDEA!" — while a delighted Katy herself stands beside him, arms full of gift-wrapped boxes. The playful visual gag of Katy coming face-to-face with her own doll likeness gives this Christmas-themed cover a warm, witty charm that feels right at home in the winter of '89. Cover art is by John Lucas, and the teaser "Katy as 'A Real Doll'? See Inside!!" makes it genuinely hard to resist flipping the page.
