Archie Comics #85

The Sophomore Dance is in full swing on this charming 1957 cover, where a tuxedo-clad Archie tries his luck with a decidedly unimpressed Veronica in her elegant red strapless gown and long white gloves. Her withering rebuff — "I wouldn't kiss you if you were the last man on Earth!" — only makes Archie's breezy, shameless comeback all the more delightful. It's the kind of warm, laugh-out-loud teen comedy that made Archie Comics an after-school staple, and issue #85 delivers that familiar spark in style.
