Archie #566

A sunny beach setting frames this 65th Anniversary issue of Archie, with a colorful splash of summer rivalry on full display. The cover — penciled by Stan Goldberg and inked by Bob Smith — shows a very cozy Veronica in a red bikini walking arm-in-arm with a tall, athletic stranger, while a stunned Archie looks on from the background as a smirking friend delivers the zinger: "Face it, Archie… TV shows aren't the only things with summer replacements!" It's a perfectly breezy setup for "…How to Have Fun at the Beach!" — light, fun, and exactly the kind of Riverdale mischief that has kept fans coming back for decades.
