Archie & Friends #23

The cover of Archie & Friends #23 says it all: a stampede of Riverdale High students — including a wide-eyed Archie, Betty, and a panicked crowd — comes barreling out the school doors, while a flustered administrator peers from a window above with the admission, "Maybe giving the lunch menu over the P.A. system wasn't such a good idea, Ms. Beazly!" Stan Goldberg's pencils and Mike Esposito's inks bring the chaos to life with that warm, expressive energy Goldberg always brought to the Riverdale gang. With a story titled "Monkey Migraine" inside, this June 1997 issue promises the kind of cheerful, escalating mayhem that makes Archie & Friends such an easy book to love.
