Archie Comics Digest #26

A sunny beach scene sets the cheerful tone for this 1977 digest, with Betty and Veronica in their swimsuits flanking a seated Archie on the sand — Betty lamenting "The world's in a mess!" while Veronica cheerfully counters that she still sees plenty of things in good shape. Dan DeCarlo's cover pencils frame the central beach vignette within a bold "T" shape, surrounded by a lively collage of additional Riverdale gang moments along the borders. Packed with stories, puzzles, and full-color fun, this digest is a warm snapshot of the Archie gang at their breezy, good-humored best.
