Archie & Friends #56

Archie & Friends #56 spotlights a fan-favorite crossover as Josie and the Pussycats take center stage, with the cover by Holly Golightly and John Costanza showing the cat-eared rockers surrounded by a crowd of excited fans — including a grinning Archie in the foreground — while a young admirer holds up a signed Josie and the Pussycats comic. The energy is pure meet-and-greet magic, all smiles and autographs against a brick backdrop, perfectly capturing the thrill of getting up close with your favorite band. Published in 2002 during Archie Comics' 60th Anniversary, this is a fun, feel-good issue that fans of both series will enjoy.
