Archie Giant Series Magazine #461

A sunny beach setting frames this 1977 giant-sized Archie outing, where a red-faced Archie finds himself caught between a bikini-clad redhead and a very unhappy lifeguard who has some strong opinions about who he's been rescuing. The cover dialogue — "You will be, Archie, that's MY GIRL you're messing with!" — sets up the kind of breezy, good-natured trouble only Riverdale's most accident-prone teen could stumble into. With "A Fool for Cool" on the docket and thirty-five cents getting you an oversized read, this issue captures everything cheerfully chaotic about Archie's world.
