Archie #470

In "What's the Store," Archie finds himself behind the counter at a local shop, tasked with discarding sixty unsold bottles of asparagus prune juice—until he hatches a clever plan to turn the oddity into a selling point. Written by Angelo DeCesare and brought to life with vibrant energy by Stan Goldberg’s art and Henry Scarpelli’s inks, this 1998 issue captures Archie’s trademark charm and quick thinking in a delightfully absurd situation. The cover, also by Goldberg and Scarpelli, perfectly captures the comic’s playful tone.
