Archie and Me #63

This Giant-sized 1974 entry in the Archie Series finds Riverdale High's honor roll students getting a hilariously over-the-top reception — a marching one-man band complete with a "Riverdale H.S." banner, blaring horns, and flying musical notes, while onlookers including Archie, Betty, and the gang watch in amused disbelief. Stan Goldberg's cover pencils capture the cheerful chaos perfectly, from the bewildered teacher at his desk to the student knocked sprawling by the fanfare. For a quarter, this Giant issue promises the warm, lighthearted humor that makes Archie comics such a consistently fun read.
