Archie Comics Digest #178

A snowy mountain setting provides the perfect backdrop for this digest-sized collection as Archie, Betty, and Veronica hit the slopes with snowboards in hand — though the real action seems to be a lively exchange of words between the three, with Betty making it clear she's never met Veronica's "cute boyfriend." Stan Goldberg's pencils and Henry Scarpelli's inks give the trio their familiar warmth and energy, bundled up in colorful winter gear that pops against the crisp white landscape. With a packed digest format and a full creative team including writer Mike Pellowski and artist Fernando Ruiz, this 2001 issue offers a fun seasonal slice of Riverdale life.
