Archie #335

In "At a Disadvantage," Archie faces a familiar but fresh kind of heartache when Betty and Veronica both tell him they’re no longer interested—unless he can afford to pay for their dates. Determined to prove himself, he takes on a job delivering telephone books, navigating the ups and downs of teenage independence. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature art, James DeCarlo’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this 1985 issue captures the charm and humor of Riverdale’s everyday struggles, all on a 65-cent cover by Dan DeCarlo.
