Archie #144

From March 1964, this charming installment of Archie captures a perfectly timed comedic moment: Betty and Veronica stand at a counter covered in trading-stamp booklets, while Archie delivers his deadpan complaint — "your kisses are starting to taste like glue!" — much to Betty's wide-eyed shock and Reggie's scowling disapproval. Samm Schwartz's cover art nails the gang's expressive charm, wringing genuine laughs from the very relatable mid-century trading-stamp craze. Inside, writer Frank Doyle and artist Harry Lucey bring their reliable warmth to "The Cheer Leader," making this a thoroughly enjoyable slice of Riverdale life.
