Archie Comics Digest #213

On the cover, penciled by Stan Goldberg and inked by Bob Smith, an enthusiastic older gentleman brandishes his new cellphone and boasts about its "unlimited long distance" — while Archie and Veronica lounge together on a red sofa, Veronica's deadpan comeback ("Great! Why don't you go far way and tell us more about it?") landing with perfect comic timing. It's a warm, relatable slice of Riverdale humor that captures the gang's light banter beautifully. This 2005 digest packs in a full collection of stories, including the interior tale "Sock-Her Game," making it a satisfying read from cover to back page.
