Archie at Riverdale High #86

The school nurse's office has never looked so relatable — on Stan Goldberg's cover for this 1982 issue, three students sit on a waiting-room bench presenting their ailments: "tennis elbow," "football knee," and, perhaps most timely for 1982, "video game finger." The nurse eyes the trio with patient skepticism while a cheerleader action scene plays out in the banner above, capturing Riverdale High's full range of athletic ambition. It's a warm, funny snapshot of the era, written by Frank Doyle with interior art by Stan G., that reminds us why this series always felt so cheerfully grounded in everyday teen life.
