Archie at Riverdale High #57
In "Power Mad!", Archie at Riverdale High #57 (1978), the school's new soccer team becomes a battleground when Blechly Krud's wealthy father uses his influence to force the school into putting his unqualified son on the roster—no matter the consequences. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with vibrant energy by artist Stan Goldberg, inks by Rudy Lapick, and lettering by Bill Yoshida, this classic slice of Riverdale life captures the absurdity of privilege with a wink. The cover by Stan Goldberg perfectly captures the moment's escalating tension.
