Archie & Friends #22

Archie is living the dream — at least according to his own speech bubble — as he poses with a glamorous redhead in front of an "MBC TV Presents Roommates" banner on this bright, energetic cover by Stan Goldberg and Mike Esposito. Betty looks on in wide-eyed disbelief from the left while a laughing pal in the background supplies the punchline: starring in a sitcom may be Archie's dream, but "a nightmare for the rest of the country!" It's a fun, TV-themed setup for "Lucky Star," brought to the interior page by writer-artist Dan Parent and inker Rudy Lapick.
