Archie at Riverdale High #81

Music class is in session on Stan Goldberg's cover for this 1981 installment, where Archie and his Riverdale classmates — including a double-bass player and a flutist — are mid-rehearsal while their exasperated teacher leans over his podium with a pointed conductor's baton. The speech bubbles say it all: Archie finds the melody haunting, but the teacher has a rather different word for what Archie does to it at every rehearsal. With Frank Doyle's story "Switch Hitter" waiting inside, this is a cheerful slice of Riverdale life that fans of the series will find hard to put down.
