Archie and Me #86

The great outdoors beckons in Archie and Me #86, as Archie and two friends — laden with enormous, teetering backpacks — stumble through a wooded campsite with matching "Camp" T-shirts and more gear than good sense. One character cheerfully declares that "the burdens of civilization are behind us," while another's pointed reply — "'Behind us' is right!" — suggests those burdens may be literally following them down the trail. Stan Goldberg's pencils and Rudy Lapick's inks bring warm, lively energy to this September 1976 issue, making it a charming snapshot of Riverdale humor at its most relatable.
