Archie #350

A sun-drenched park scene sets the stage for this August 1987 milestone — Archie Comics' 45th Anniversary issue! Cover artist Dan DeCarlo puts Archie on roller skates alongside two enthusiastic girls who want skating lessons, but his sheepish reply ("Two dollars is all I have!") promises the kind of lighthearted comic misadventure the series does so well. With Jughead airborne in the background and the whole Riverdale gang peeking in from the side panel, issue #350 radiates the breezy, good-natured charm that kept readers coming back for decades.
