Archie & Friends #14

Archie finds himself literally in the spotlight on Dan Parent's cheerful cover for this 2022 one-shot, flashlight in hand and grinning ear to ear as both Betty and Veronica vie for his attention on either side of a darkened doorway. The "Thrills and Chills" subtitle sets a playfully spooky tone, perfectly matched by the dramatic lighting and the girls' delighted, slightly startled expressions. With an all-new lead story — "Return to Mirrordale" — crafted by the creative team of George Gladir, Stan Goldberg, Jon D'Agostino, Barry Grossman, and Bill Yoshida, this is a fun, accessible read from Archie Comics' celebrated 80-plus-year run.
