Archie Comics Digest #235

A sunny beach setting sets the perfect stage for this 2007 digest, with cover art by penciler Stan Goldberg and inker Bob Smith bringing a classic summer scene to life. Archie stands grinning in his red swim trunks, holding shells and quipping that he's "just admiring a few shells" — while a skeptical Betty points an accusing finger and a laughing Ginger relaxes nearby in a seashell-print bikini with a boombox at her side. It's a lighthearted snapshot of Riverdale's favorite redhead caught in his natural habitat: cheerfully outnumbered and completely unashamed.
