Archie #303

Archie #303 finds Riverdale's favorite redhead gathered around a snowy campfire with his pals, delivering a punchline for the ages — apparently, giving up girls to save money lasted all of two hours. Dan DeCarlo's cover captures the wintry scene with that warm, easygoing charm the series does so well, from the bundled-up gang to the snowball flying overhead. With Frank Doyle scripting "Sale Wail," this 1981 issue promises the kind of breezy, good-natured humor that makes Archie comics such a reliable delight.
