Archie #471

Comic conventions come to Riverdale in this fun 1998 issue, with the cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli dropping Archie and Jughead right into the middle of a bustling "Comic Parade" event. Archie grins at a comic book while Jughead browses nearby, both clearly thrilled to be there, as two women in colorful superhero costumes strut through the crowd past a packed "Star Comics" display and an Artists Room sign. It's a love letter to comics fandom itself — warm, witty, and full of the cheerful energy that makes Archie titles so enduring.
