Archie Comics Digest #204

In "Cold Calculations," Archie’s romantic hopes hang on a single phone number—his first real chance at a date, but without a name to go with it. When a snowstorm steals the number and Jughead finds it, the real test isn’t just about love, but whether Archie’s determination to earn enough for a proper date can outlast the winter chill. Written by Craig Boldman and illustrated by Rex Lindsey, with inks by Rich Koslowski, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, the issue’s cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith captures the season’s quiet tension.
