Archie #351
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Surf Saga," Archie’s attempt to impress the girls with a borrowed surfboard hits a wave of awkwardness when his lack of skill becomes painfully obvious. A chance encounter with a local Hawaiian leads Archie on a surprising detour to the best waves—though whether he’ll ride them or just watch remains to be seen. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo Jr.’s crisp art and Jim DeCarlo’s dynamic inks, this 1987 classic captures the summer spirit with a touch of seaside humor. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly captures the laid-back vibe of the issue.
Archie tries to impress the girls at the beach with his new surfboard—despite having never actually surfed. His confidence wavers when a passing Hawaiian points out the real waves, leaving Archie scrambling to keep up.
Archie’s trying to keep the Blue Sox game’s outcome a secret while sharing a picnic with Betty and Veronica—no easy task when every play, every cheer, and even the weather seem to be hinting at the final score.
