Archie #547

The class divide between Riverdale's finest restaurants and Archie Andrews' budget is on full display in this charming 2004 entry, as the cover — penciled by Stan Goldberg and inked by Bob Smith — shows a sheepish Archie and a cheerful Veronica stepping out of the upscale Che Chichi Restaurant. Veronica's glowing review of her lobster thermidor lands with gentle comedy against her pointed question about Archie's hot dog, capturing the lovable gap between these two in just one perfectly timed exchange. It's the kind of warm, witty snapshot that makes Archie Comics so easy to pick up and enjoy.
