“Taking the Plunge”

In "Taking the Plunge," Archie’s latest scheme takes a holiday twist when he convinces his dad to pay him to fill out Christmas cards in July—just to afford a special gift for Betty. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with vibrant energy by Stan Goldberg’s art, Bob Smith’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this 1999 classic captures the charm and humor of Riverdale’s most well-meaning (and perpetually broke) teen. The cover, penciled by Goldberg and inked by Scarpelli, perfectly captures Archie’s hopeful determination.
