Archie #438

The eternal Archie Andrews triangle gets a sunny 1995 airing on this Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli cover, where a wide-eyed Archie is clearly distracted by Veronica strolling up in a striking green dress — while Betty, right beside him, gamely plays along with his breathless observation that "green is a beautiful color." It's a perfectly breezy snapshot of Riverdale's most enduring romantic comedy, rendered with the warm, expressive linework Goldberg and Scarpelli brought to the series. Paired with the interior story "Formal Attraction," this issue promises the kind of charming, good-natured fun that made Archie Comics a staple for generations of readers.
