Archie at Riverdale High #13

Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, inked by Rudy Lapick, and colored by Barry Grossman, this 1974 issue captures a moment of surprising sincerity from Archie, whose priorities take a surprising turn. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the tension between friendship and romance.

Veronica learns that Archie has his own college savings account that he's been putting money into for years, and that it now totals almost two thousand dollars. When she asks him to use some of that money to take her out, he refuses, saying he will sacrifice anything - even her - rather than touch his college account.
