“A Time for Love”

A digest packed with Riverdale charm, issue #55 finds a thoroughly soaked Archie on Veronica's doorstep, having heroically retrieved a package in the rain — only to discover it contains her brand-new umbrella. Dan DeCarlo's cover perfectly captures that sweet, comedic timing the series does so well, with circular vignettes around the edges hinting at even more lighthearted misadventures tucked inside this 1982 collection. If you enjoy warm, funny slices of teen life with an irresistible cast, this digest delivers exactly that.
