Archie Giant Series Magazine #217
In "Christmas Season with Betty & Veronica," Jughead takes on the role of Santa Claus for the kids at the local hospital, complete with Hot Dog as his reindeer—much to the amusement of the rest of the gang. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with vibrant art by Stan Goldberg, Rudy Lapick, Barry Grossman, and Bill Yoshida, this 1974 holiday special captures the season’s warmth with a touch of humor. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the festive spirit.
