World of Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #55

In "Take Your Cake and Beat It Too!", the gang heads to a department store to return their Christmas gifts after a chilly visit to Clyde Didit’s igloo, where Melody finds herself in a surprisingly tricky situation—she wants to exchange a bikini that, she insists, covers too much. But when she tries it on to demonstrate, the reaction from the store’s customers suggests her concerns might not be shared by everyone. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—inked by Rudy Lapick, colored by Barry Grossman, and lettered by Bill Yoshida—this lighthearted, character-driven tale captures the usual charm of the Archie universe, with a playful twist on holiday shopping. The cover, by Dan Parent and Rich Koslowski, perfectly captures the issue’s fun, flirty energy.
