Archie Comics Digest #145

Archie takes the mic at what appears to be a "Liars' Club" competition, gleefully spouting outrageous whoppers — "We need more homework!" and "Kissing is a drag!" — while Betty and Veronica sit as judges behind a gleaming first-prize trophy, barely suppressing their amusement. Stan Goldberg's pencils and Henry Scarpelli's inks give the scene that warm, expressive charm that made Archie Digest a perennial favorite. This 1997 digest packs in a full slate of stories, including "Puppet Master," making it a satisfying read from cover to back.
