“The Loser Wins”

The eternal Riverdale love triangle gets a clever twist in this 1992 installment, as the cover — penciled by Stan Goldberg and inked by Henry Scarpelli — catches Archie and Betty standing together in matching retro-reflective vests while a very satisfied Veronica points at them from beside her car, declaring "Ah-ha! Caught you!" The glowing headlights illuminate the scene with perfect comic timing, and Veronica's speech bubble reveals she engineered the whole thing by giving them those vests in the first place. It's a warm, funny snapshot of the scheming and charm that has kept Archie readers smiling for decades.
