Archie Comics #39

At a bus stop, Archie and Jughead are completely distracted by a stylish blonde woman in red walking her Dalmatian — their speech bubbles making it clear the dog is the last thing on their minds. Bill Vigoda's cover captures that breezy, good-humored spirit that made Archie Comics "America's Typical Teen-Ager" in 1949. Subtitled "The Mirth of a Nation," this ten-cent issue delivers the kind of light, relatable comedy that kept the series America's largest-selling teen-age magazine.
