Archie Facsimile Edition #4
In "Hold That Line," Archie's favorite beach scene heats up when the ever-dramatic Cheryl Blossom arrives in a bikini that turns heads—and pushes the limits of local beach etiquette. As Cheryl dares to go topless, her brother Jason quietly attempts to sneak a beer past the lifeguard, setting off a chain of lighthearted chaos. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic flair by Dan DeCarlo (pencils and inks), Barry Grossman (colors), and Bill Yoshida (letters), this 2025 Facsimile Edition captures the timeless charm of Riverdale’s summer days. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly encapsulates the playful tension of the moment.
