Archie Comics Digest #62

In "Beauty and the Judge!", Archie finds himself in the unusual role of judge for the Miss Riverdale pageant, caught between Betty and Veronica's rivalry, Moose’s threat to punch him if Midge doesn’t win, and a con man determined to ruin him for not favoring his protégée, Diana Petticote. Written by Sy Reit and illustrated by Bob White with inks by Marty Epp, this 1983 classic brings the usual Riverdale chaos to a beauty contest with a twist. Dan DeCarlo handles both pencils and inks on the cover, capturing the humor and tension in full color.
