Archie #538

San Diego Comic-Con serves as the backdrop for this cheerful 2003 issue, with the cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith dropping Archie and Chuck right into the convention floor — wide-eyed and clearly delighted, speech bubbles confirming they've each found exactly what they were looking for. Two costumed attendees steal the scene alongside them: a bold armored warrior woman and a blue-suited superhero in a lightning-bolt dress, both striding confidently past the vendor tables and comic boxes. It's a fun, affectionate nod to fan culture that makes "A Con to Remember" feel like a fitting title before you've even opened the cover.
