Archie Comics Digest #171

Cover art by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli sets a breezy, lighthearted tone for this 2000 digest: Archie sits on a bench clutching a yellow toy airplane while Veronica — dressed smartly in red — holds up a sleek commercial airliner model and teases him that hers "has an in-flight movie," as a third friend nearby operates a remote-controlled biplane buzzing overhead. It's the kind of cheerful, sun-drenched rivalry that makes Riverdale so endlessly fun, and packed inside are reprinted tales including "What's Cookin'?" to keep the laughs coming across 100-plus digest pages.
