Archie #370

A sunny beach setting frames this September 1989 issue perfectly — Veronica is cozying up to a handsome blond lifeguard while a jealous, wide-eyed Archie looks on from behind, with Chuck and other Riverdale pals rounding out the shoreside crowd. The cover's speech bubbles spell out the comic dilemma with a wink: the lifeguard rescued Veronica, but who's going to rescue Archie from the situation? Dan and Jim DeCarlo bring their signature clean, expressive linework to the scene, capturing the breezy charm that made this series a staple of summer reading.
