Archie & Friends #57

Poor Archie — dressed to the nines in a sharp blue suit and clutching a colorful bouquet, he watches helplessly as the stylish Ginger Lopez strides confidently away, briefcase in hand, telling him she's swapped their prom date for a trip to the Big Apple. Dan Parent's cover pencils (inked by Jon D'Agostino) capture the classic Archie Comics mix of heartfelt awkwardness and breezy charm, with Ginger's purple power suit practically radiating big-city energy. This 2002 issue — released during Archie's 60th anniversary — spotlights Ginger in the story "Back in the Big Apple," making it a fun showcase for one of Riverdale's most worldly characters.
