Archie #3
In "Chapter One: Nice Purse, Andrews," Archie faces a classic dilemma when he asks Veronica out—only to realize she’s far more high-end than he expected. To afford the date, he takes a job at the El Crocadero, unaware that’s exactly where she wants to go. With his work uniform on and his heart racing, Archie tries to juggle serving customers and keeping up a charming front, all drawn by Bob Montana in a story that captures the charm and awkwardness of first love. The cover, by Fiona Staples, perfectly captures the moment’s tension and humor.
