Archie & Friends #26

The Archies are hitting the road! This December 1997 issue of Archie & Friends features a lively cover by Stan Goldberg and Mike Esposito, showing Archie and a bandmate rocking out on guitars while another friend keeps the beat on a drum kit marked "The Archies" — with Betty shaking a tambourine nearby and a bewildered adult in the background asking, "Uh… will you all be coming back?!" It's a warm, fun snapshot of Riverdale's favorite band in full tour-announcement chaos, making this a cheerful pick for any fan of the gang.
