Archie Giant Series Magazine #474

Summer fun takes center stage in this 1978 giant-sized treat, as Betty and Veronica — clad in their new swimsuits — pose a pointed question to Archie, who sits perched atop a lifeguard stand at Ortley Beach Station 2 with a dizzy, wide-eyed expression and the deadpan reply that five lifeguards have just reported in with "eye-strain." Dan DeCarlo's breezy cover art captures the duo's beachy confidence against a sunny shoreline backdrop, while a smaller vignette up top teases even more fashion-forward hijinks between the girls. It's a cheerful, humor-packed package that delivers exactly what an Archie Giant Series Spectacular promises.
