Archie & Friends #16

In "Strike a Pose," Veronica's cousin Valika brings the Riverdale gang to New York for a photo shoot—only for the photographer to spot something unexpected in the group. Suddenly, Archie, Betty, Jughead, and the rest are thrust into the spotlight, posing for a campaign that captures the "family values grunge" look and turns them into an overnight media sensation. Written and illustrated by Dan Parent, with inks by Rudy Lapick, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1995 issue features a cover by Dan DeCarlo that perfectly captures the moment the kids step into the limelight.
