Archie #403

Archie heads north of the border in this 1992 issue, with the cover — penciled by Stan Goldberg and inked by Henry Scarpelli — capturing him in full rodeo-clown gear, desperately clinging to a barrel while an angry bull charges straight at him at the Calgary Stampede. Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and the rest of the gang watch wide-eyed from the sidelines as Archie's hat goes flying and the dust kicks up around him. As the cover copy puts it, rodeos are "a barrel of fun… for the bulls," and this issue looks like a wonderfully chaotic tribute to Canada's world-famous Stampede.
