Archie Comics Digest #156

The cover of this 1998 digest says it all — Archie is fast asleep at a school desk in his pajamas, while his bemused parents stand in the doorway, his mom quipping that "when he can't fall asleep he pretends he's in school!" It's a perfectly charming slice of Riverdale domestic comedy, brought to life with warmth and clean linework by the cover team of Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli. Packed with reprinted stories including "A Day to Forget," this digest is a cozy, fun read that captures everything endearing about Archie and his world.
