Archie #445

Archie Andrews finds himself in a classic winter predicament on the cover of this March 1996 issue — arms wrapped around both Betty and Veronica as all three wobble together on ice skates, with Archie cheerfully admitting he needs a lot more practice before skating solo. Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli bring the snowy outdoor scene to life with bright, energetic linework, capturing the warm chaos of Riverdale's favorite trio in their cold-weather gear. It's a charming, lighthearted snapshot of everything that makes this long-running series so endearing.
