Little Archie Digest Magazine #5

The holiday chaos is already underway on this 1992 digest, where a towering Christmas tree has toppled — or simply proved far too ambitious — sending ornaments scattering everywhere as the child versions of Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead survey the colorful wreckage. One of them delivers the perfect verdict in a speech bubble: "Next year, let's get a shorter tree!" Cover pencils by Chris Allan and inks by Rod Ollerenshaw give the scene a cheerful, warm energy that suits the season beautifully. Packed with reprints on 100% recycled pages, this digest is a cozy little holiday package from Archie's younger days.
