Archie at Riverdale High #71

A wintry outdoor skating competition takes center stage on this 1980 Archie Comics cover, where Archie — in his Riverdale letterman jacket — attempts a daring jump over a row of barrels while Chuck struggles mid-air beside him. The cover copy tips the hand just enough: a scheming figure below has secretly added an extra barrel to the obstacle course, setting Chuck up to fail — putting him "over a barrel" in more ways than one. It's the kind of fun, good-natured rivalry that made Archie at Riverdale High such an enjoyable slice of small-town high school life.
