Archie & Friends #55

Josie, Melody, and Valerie take center stage on this energetic 2002 cover, all three Pussycats in their signature leopard-print outfits, guitars blazing under the spotlights as an enthusiastic crowd reaches up from below. With a story titled "Stage Fright," there's clearly some behind-the-scenes tension brewing beneath all that rock-and-roll confidence. Holly G! and John Costanza bring the band to life with the bright, kinetic energy that makes Archie Comics such a fun read.
