Archie #590

In "Freshman Year Part 4 of 5," Archie’s quiet study night spirals into chaos when a parade of unexpected guests disrupts his plans—Chuck shows up unannounced, Moose makes a move on Midge, and Ethel experiences the rare moment Jughead skips her. Written by Batton Lash and brought to life by Bill Galvan’s art with inks by Bob Smith, colors by Glenn Whitmore, and letters by Jack Morelli, this 2008 issue captures the messy, heartfelt rhythm of high school life. The cover by Bill Galvan and Bob Smith perfectly frames the scene’s escalating energy.
