Archie Comics Digest #98

A sunny scuba-diving outing sets the cheerful tone for this 1989 digest, with Veronica and Betty laughing on an inflatable raft while Archie and Jughead look on from a nearby rowboat — all geared up with tanks, masks, and fins for a day on the water. The speech bubbles make it clear Jughead has already spotted what he considers the perfect diving spot, much to everyone's delight, in a cover penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Jim DeCarlo that captures the gang's beachside energy beautifully. At 128 pages, this digest packs in plenty of reading, and a cover callout even reminds fans that "The New Archies" TV show was airing at the time.
