Archie 3000 #2

The future looks fabulous in Archie 3000 #2, as a wide-eyed redhead dominates this eye-catching 1989 cover, her oversized futuristic sunglasses reflecting a glimpse of the far-flung world around her — complete with tiny magazine covers reading "How to Control Your 31st Century Man" and "How to Please Your 31st Century Man." Familiar Riverdale faces peek out from the corner portrait boxes, reassuring readers that even a thousand years from now, the gang is still very much themselves. Cover art by Dan Parent and Rudy Lapick makes this fun, forward-looking issue — featuring the story "Answer or Else!" — a cheerful reminder that some things, like friendship and humor, are timeless.
