Friday Christmas Five of a Kind: Archie Andrews Gets Busy

I've collected cover scans for over 1000 comics with a Christmas theme, which at 25 per year would take me over 40 years to post them all! So every Friday during December this year I'm posting five theme-related Christmas covers (with apologies to Tom & Bully).

For most people the holiday season is a time for good cheer, shopping for presents, spending time with family, and spiritual reflection.

But for Archie Andrews it's also the perfect time to make time with the ladies!
