Book Reviews of Archie's Classic Christmas Stories (Archie' Classics)
Book Review: SOMETHING IN YOUR CHRISTMAS STOCKING!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't collect many comic books anymore. Where I once had a collection of some 12,000 comics, I now have less than 200. I've sold off most of it but one thing I do still collect is comics that have a Christmas theme, particularly those that are pre-1970. That's why this collection of classic Archie Christmas stories came as such a treat to me. In this volume you get 14 wonderful tales from the pages of "Archies Christmas Stocking" between the years of 1956 and 1963. These are hilarious and even heart-warming tales filled with the kind of holiday cheer you just don't see in comic books anymore.
This classic volume includes:
"Christmas Socking" Veronica and Betty conspire to get Archie and Reg to kiss Moose's girl Midge under the mistletoe since Moose won't do it. But the boys and Midge start enjoying it a little too much!
"Idiots Delight" Betty wants to spend time with Archie but he's busy with Veronica. Then she hits on the perfect scheme...play the dumb blonde so well that Archie has no choice but to help Betty with everything including wrapping presents and trimming the tree.
"Ring that Belle" Veronica mistakenly believes that Archie is giving her and engagement ring for Christmas. When Archies friends find out, he finds himself repeatedly returning her gift for something else. Will it be the right gift?
"Seasonal Smooch" Reg tells Moose he has to let him kiss Midge under the mistletoe or Santa won't bring Moose any presents. But that dirty Reg uses everything but mistletoe to get his lips on Midge including hedge leaves, parsley, and carrot leaves.
"Those Christmas Blues" Archie tells his parents he's too busy to help them decorate the tree. His saddened parents reminisce about Archie as a little boy and how he loved to help. But Archie has a big surprise for his parents.
"A Job for Jingles" Archie is visited by a precocious little elf named Jingles. Archie introduces the elf to the rest of the gang and Jangles has the time of his life.
"The Return of Jingles" Jingles returns to Riverdale to see the gang again but this time he's not alone. He bragged so much about what a great time he had that two other elves, Jangles and Jeeves, follow him to Riverdale resulting in a big fight between the trio until the big man in the red suit steps in.
As mentioned, there are 14 stories in all and they are just a joy to read. All the gang is here including Reg, Jughead, Mr. Weatherbee, and Mr. Lodge. Filled with the typical Archie brand of humor and that classic Archie Comic's art-style, this will be a book that you'll want to read every holiday season. The book is a 96 page, square bound trade paperback. Highly recommend!
