Archie & Friends #40

Archie's hockey antics take center stage in this April 2000 issue, with cover art by Stan Goldberg and Jon D'Agostino showing Archie's number-12 jersey prominently displayed in a "Penalty Box" while a bewildered coach and a sheepish Reggie look on from rinkside. Up in the stands, Veronica, Betty, and a crowd of onlookers react with a mix of amusement and exasperation, one of them wondering aloud just why Archie commits so many penalties. It's the kind of cheerful, good-natured chaos that makes Archie & Friends such an enduring treat.
