Archie Annual Digest #42

A crowd of Riverdale students gathers around a bare-branched tree marked "Property of Botany Dept." as Veronica and another stylishly dressed young woman stride past, prompting the double-take gag captured in the speech bubbles — "What magnificent limbs!" / "And the faces are pretty nice, too!" Archie and the gang fill out the lively scene in their winter layers, with additional characters tucked into the star-bordered digest frame, making this 1983 digest feel like a party before you've even cracked the spine. Dan DeCarlo's cover art brings all the warmth and wit Archie fans were counting on for a packed volume of fun.
