Archie Annual Digest #54

In "Easy Does It," the Pembrooke Academy elite, led by Cheryl and Jason Blossom, scheme to humiliate Archie, Betty, and Veronica by tricking them into donating to a phony charity called "Save the Hermit Hugabear." With the help of the ever-cunning Sidney Snavely, whose motives are never quite what they seem, the prank takes a twist that even the pranksters might not see coming. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated with classic flair by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1989 annual captures the charm and mischief of Riverdale at its most mischievous. The cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Jim DeCarlo, perfectly captures the playful deception at the heart of the story.
