Archie #355

Archie's knack for accidental mayhem is on full display in this 1988 installment, as the cover shows a soot-covered, tattered Archie stumbling out of the Chemistry Lab doorway alongside a startled teacher, while Betty, Veronica, and Jughead look on with a mix of amusement and disbelief. His cheerful quip — "Thanks, but I just had mine!" — in response to the suggestion of having a "blast" this weekend says everything about how his day went. Dan DeCarlo's cover art perfectly captures the warm, comedic spirit that made Riverdale such an enduring destination.
