Archie Comics Digest #166

This digest-sized collection packs in plenty of Riverdale fun, and the cover by Dan DeCarlo and inker Henry Scarpelli sets the tone perfectly. Veronica beams at Archie — bat in hand and wearing his Riverdale baseball uniform — telling him she can't wait to tell her father how far he knocked that ball out of the park, while a panicked white-haired man in the background reacts in alarm to a baseball that has just shattered a window. It's a cheerful snapshot of small-town mischief that made Archie Comics such a beloved fixture of 1999 spinner racks.
