[i][b]Archie Christmas Spectacular #1[/b][/i] (February 2021 cover-date)

It's done old-school style, so of course it could be a bit silly (and not at all edgy).

But you know what? I haven't bought/read a regular Archie comic book in years[SIZE=1] (at least a decade maybe?)[/SIZE], but I use to sometimes get the Christmas issues back in the last century, and this was very good "comfort-read" as far as I was concerned. It wouldn't necessarily cause me to start buying/reading Archie comics (either recent or older) on a regular basis, but I would probably pick up another Christmas issue when they put one out[SIZE=1] (as long as it's in this older style and NOT a "digest-sized")[/SIZE].[/QUOTE]

Went to the comic book shop this week and picked up:[INDENT][img]https://i67.servimg.com/u/f67/18/91/37/14/archie19.jpg[/img]
[B]Archie Christmas Spectacular[/B] (January 2023)[/INDENT]

Haven't read it yet, but with Tom DeFalco writing the lead story I'm guessing it will be amusing.

Does seem a little silly, though, that keep putting an issue number of "[B][FONT=Comic Sans MS]#1[/FONT][/B]" on the cover of these each year.

Why don't they just title it with the year number, like "[B]Archie Christmas Spectacular 2022[/B]" instead?
