Archie #472

A skateboard sits in Archie's hands as he grins with eager optimism — while a worried-looking friend nearby imagines two very different outcomes: Archie pulling off a flashy trick to an impressed crowd, or ending up on crutches with a cast. Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli bring plenty of expressive charm to this June 1998 cover, perfectly setting the tone for "Risky Business." It's a fun snapshot of that classic Archie tension between enthusiasm and consequences.
