Archie #477

Archie's beloved jalopy has finally met its match at Sam's Car Wash, and the cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli captures the disaster with perfect comic timing — the red car is literally falling apart in the wash, parts and a tire scattered across the pavement while a Sam's Car Wash employee delivers the deadpan verdict: "I think the dirt was the only thing holding your car together!" Archie and a blonde companion look on in wide-eyed horror, making this November 1998 issue a warm reminder of why the gang's automotive misadventures never get old. Inside, George Gladir and Fernando Ruiz bring the story "A Chance to Dance" to life, promising more of the easygoing Riverdale charm that's kept readers smiling for decades.
