PROTOTykes Holiday Special (Dec. 1994)

This Holiday themed cover of John Byrne's PROTOTykes was a free 20 page comic included with Hero Illustrated #19, Jan. 1995.
The PROTOTykes, (sort of a Power Pack Meets Metal Men mash-up) first appeared as as back up story in Babe #3 and were planned by Byrne to be a property he could turn into an animated series, but nothing came of it and the PROTOTykes faded into obscurity. Before Byrne gave up on them, they did manage to appear in this cute story in which the 'Tykes set out on a search for Santa Claus to cheer up their guardian, Casey, whom they believe has been down in the dumps because she is without her father at Christmas.

Archie Giant Series Magazine #203 (Dec. 1972)

Today's Christmas themed cover is Archie Giant Series Magazine #203 (Dec. 1972). Although this issue's cover artist is uncredited, the cover looks to be the style of Dan DeCarlo, but then again it could be Stan Goldberg, who just started working for Archie around this time. Goldberg's house style was pretty close to DeCarlo in the early years at Archie. Later his art became looser (And Sloppier) and easier to identify.
Archie Giant Series Magazine #203, Dec. 1972 (Archie's Christmas Stocking)
Cover art by Dan DeCarlo (?)
Like most all the Archie issues of this time period, there are no credits for any of the stories, but a few of the artists styles are unmistakable such as the first story "Do It Yourself" and the last story, "The Greatest Gift" both look like the art is by Harry Lucey. The second story "Fair Exchange" is clearly by Samm Schwartz, probably the easiest Archie Artist to identify. The Li'l Jinx gags are also easy to identify as they are by Joe Edwards.
