Archie #331

A summery 1984 treat from Archie Comics, this issue promises that "in the summer a young man's fancy turns to cool, sweet things" — and the cover by Dan DeCarlo delivers exactly that mood, with a grinning, freckle-faced Archie front and center, surrounded by four adoring faces (a blonde, a redhead, a brunette, and a dark-haired girl) all framed by golden waffle-cone shapes against a vivid purple background. It's a charming snapshot of Riverdale's most lovably distracted redhead in full summertime form. Interior art comes from Dan DeCarlo Jr., inked by Jimmy DeCarlo, with a story by Frank Doyle — a dependable creative team delivering the warmhearted fun Archie readers had come to love.
