Archie Comics Digest #128

In Miss Grundy's English class, poetry recitation day has arrived — and Archie is doing his best to wriggle out of it, holding up a sign that reads "I Have Laryngitis" (with the misspelled first attempt crossed out in red) while a skeptical Miss Grundy peers at him and a blonde classmate looks on from the foreground. This cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli captures that perfectly relatable mix of classroom dread and comedic scheming that made Archie digest collections so endearing in 1994. Packed with stories including "Spring Ritual," this digest is a warm bundle of Riverdale humor at its best.
