Archie at Riverdale High #53

This May 1978 issue of Archie at Riverdale High captures a wonderfully chaotic winter scene: Betty has crashed through the ice with a startled "EEEYIPE!" while Archie and Chuck look on in alarm, and a "SPLASH!" burst makes the moment delightfully dramatic. The cover teases the story "On Thin Ice," promising that Betty's shot at the Riverdale figure skating title takes an unexpected — and very wet — turn. It's a charming snapshot of the gang's misadventures, brought to life with the warm, expressive linework fans of the series will immediately recognize.
