“Success At Last”

In "Success At Last," Archie's persistent sneezing has everyone giving him a wide berth, convinced he's on the verge of a full-blown cold—except for Betty, who remains unfazed by the rumors. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic charm by artist Harry Lucey, this 1973 issue captures the familiar, lighthearted chaos of Riverdale, with Chic Stone's inks, Barry Grossman's colors, and Bill Yoshida's lettering adding to the timeless feel. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the moment’s playful tension.
