Archie at Riverdale High #44

Riverdale's halls get a touch of 1977 economic satire in this issue, as the cover promises a story of the gang going "From Riches to Rags." Archie, Veronica, Betty, and Reggie stroll in looking decidedly underdressed, while a flustered teacher and an older woman confer at the desk beneath a chalkboard reading "Today's Topic… The Sagging Economy." It's the kind of lighthearted, socially aware fun that made the Archie Series a staple of after-school reading.
