Archie #557

In "No Contest," Archie and Jughead face off in a sand sculpture showdown—only to lose the contest, but not without making a splash. Their creative chaos catches the attention of the Burger Queen chain, landing them a surprise prize that’s bigger than they ever expected. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Stan Goldberg’s vibrant art and Bob Smith’s sharp inks, this 2005 issue captures the duo’s signature charm with a side of fast-food flair, all on a cover by Goldberg and Smith.
