Archie #329

Riverdale's gymnasium is buzzing in this May 1984 entry, with Dan DeCarlo's cover capturing a cheerful collision of cheerleaders — Betty, Veronica, and the squad mid-routine with purple pom-poms — while Archie and his Riverdale teammates look on from the bench as a watchful Coach Kleats stands nearby. The packed bleachers and the story title "Double Trouble" hint that the excitement on the sidelines might be just as chaotic as whatever's happening in the game. Frank Doyle's script and DeCarlo's famously expressive linework make this a warm, fun snapshot of the gang in their element.
