World of Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #64
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Spinner Winner!", Archie’s favorite holiday season brings a festive twist when Betty and Veronica take charge of Riverdale High’s Christmas decorations—only to spark a playful rivalry when they both end up in identical Santa suits. With Miss Grundy and Mr. Weatherbee watching from afar, the girls’ holiday cheer takes a cheeky turn in the basement storeroom, where mistletoe and mischief collide. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo with inks by Rudy Lapick and letters by Bill Yoshida, this jolly Double Digest tale captures the classic charm of Archie’s world, all wrapped up in a cover by Dan Parent.
When the mischievous brownie Jingles returns to Riverdale with a winter prank in mind, he quickly finds himself out of his depth—especially when he stumbles upon not one, but several Santas, each more bewildering than the last. Archie, Jughead, and Reggie find themselves caught in the chaos, trying to keep the season merry while Jingles wonders if he’s in over his head.
Josie, Melody, Pepper, and Albert are having a laugh at Melody’s expense over her belief in a dream-interpretation book, but when the predictions start unfolding with eerie accuracy, their teasing turns to disbelief—and maybe a little unease.
When Albert's guitar obsession takes center stage, Josie's hopes for a romantic evening are upended—especially when her dad pulls out his old banjo and joins Albert in a duet, turning a quiet night into a full-blown musical showdown.
Veronica and Nancy clash over whether Archie or Chuck is the better basketball player, turning a friendly debate into a distraction that starts to unravel the Riverdale team’s focus on the court. As tensions rise, the rivalry threatens to spill beyond the gym and into the heart of the squad’s chemistry.
When Reggie Mantle mocks Jughead Jones for topping his burger with pineapple, the usually quiet teen launches into a surprisingly passionate talk on the value of balanced eating—turning a lunchtime joke into a full-blown food philosophy debate, much to the amusement of Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, and Pop Tate.
In "Someone to Watch Over Me," Archie Andrews is sentenced to Super Detention—a high-tech room stocked with a robotic version of Mr. Weatherbee—only to find the real principal accidentally locked inside with him for the night. With Veronica, Betty, and Miss Grundy caught in the middle, the school’s usual chaos takes a surreal turn as the line between student and authority blurs in the quiet hum of the detention room.
In "Santa Claws," Betty and Veronica take charge of decorating Riverdale High for the holidays, diving into a dusty basement storeroom with festive boxes and a surprise or two. When mistletoe leads to a playful ambush on Archie, the fun turns into a full-blown Santa suit showdown—because when Veronica dons the red outfit, Betty shows up in one just like it.
