“The Right Spirit!”

Riverdale's celebrating "Fad Day" on this cheerful 1987 cover, where students show off sweatshirts from real colleges — Betty in a Mount Holyoke top, Archie grinning in a Wellesley College shirt, and classmates repping Texas U, UCLA, NYU, Ohio State, and Albright College all around them. Betty's pointed observation about Archie's choice of favorite school sets up a perfectly light Archie-style punchline right there on the cover. It's a fun snapshot of the gang's everyday humor, marking Archie Comics' 45th anniversary in fine, colorful form with cover art by Dan DeCarlo.
