Archie at Riverdale High #24

The hockey locker room is buzzing with tension on this 1975 cover, as a coach-jacketed figure confronts a dark-haired player (clearly Reggie) who's bristling at the news that Archie has been named the new captain of the Riverdale High hockey team. A blonde onlooker watches the drama unfold at the edge of the panel, while a banner teases the story "Ice Follies" inside. Written by Frank Doyle with art by Stan Goldberg, inked by Jon D'Agostino, colored by Barry Grossman, and lettered by Bill Yoshida, this issue blends school-sports rivalry with the everyday Riverdale charm that made this series a reliable treat throughout the '70s.
