Archie Comics Digest #39

Archie's on a fitness kick — or at least trying to be — and the cover by Dan DeCarlo captures the chaos perfectly, with Archie straining under a barbell while Betty and Veronica look on with amusement, plus a dapper Archie portrait and tumbling figures that hint at the comedic disasters ahead. This 1979 full-color digest packs in stories, fun, and "laffes" (as the cover cheerfully promises), making it a satisfying grab-bag of Riverdale humor. At 75 cents, it's a lively snapshot of the gang in their late-'70s glory.
