In "Season in the Sun," Mr. Lodge treats Archie and the gang to a tropical Christmas getaway, but peace and quiet quickly reveal a surprising truth: even paradise feels empty without the usual teenage chaos. Al Hartley’s art captures the island’s beauty and the group’s growing homesickness, while Dan DeCarlo’s cover perfectly sets the tone for a holiday tale that finds joy in the familiar.
