Archie at Riverdale High #39

The cover of this September 1976 issue pulls you right into a roadside emergency, with Archie urgently directing Reggie to grab the CB radio while a crashed pink car sits smoking against a tree and a blonde girl is slumped inside. The tagline says it all: Archie is "faced with a life and death situation" and a Citizens Band radio is his only hope — a nicely timely hook given the CB radio craze sweeping 1976 America. "Radio Rogue" looks like a sharp blend of real-world drama and Riverdale energy that shows this series could tackle more than just hallway hijinks.
