Archie & Friends #99

Standing at a gas station convenience mart, Archie clutches a pink piggy bank while a friend counts out crumpled bills — the pump reading over three dollars a gallon makes the joke land perfectly for 2006. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith captures that relatable, humor-first spirit Archie Comics does so well, as the gang scrambles to scrape together enough change for just one gallon of fuel. Inside, the fun continues with "Missing Puzzle Pizzas" plus a Josie & the Pussycats story, making issue #99 a genuinely satisfying package as the series approaches a milestone number.
