Archie Comics Digest #254

Summer can't come soon enough — and this cover by Stan Goldberg (pencils) and Jon D'Agostino (inks) captures that end-of-school giddiness perfectly, with Archie wielding a noisemaker and a delighted teacher tossing confetti from a bag while the clock on the wall signals the final bell. Veronica looks on with an amused smile as the speech bubble cheekily asks, "Guess who can't wait for summer vacation to start?" This digest also promises a bonus helping of Little Archie and Friends, making it a cheerful package of Riverdale fun for 2009 readers of all ages.
