Archie 80th Anniversary: Everything's Archie #1
In "Gigonometry!", Archie’s summer hustle finally pays off—just as he’s about to buy his dream guitar, the store closes down. With his savings in hand, he takes a bold step: renting out the newly transformed mall space for a big concert by The Archies, turning disappointment into a chance to shine. Written by Fred Van Lente and brought to life with Dan Parent’s signature style—pencils and inks by Parent, colors by Glenn Whitmore, and letters by Jack Morelli—this 80th anniversary special captures the heart of Riverdale in a story that’s equal parts hustle, hope, and harmony.
