Archie Giant Series Magazine #520

In "Figures in the Sand," the gang heads to the shore with summer vibes and new swimwear, but the boys are completely absorbed in crafting elaborate sand castles—so much so they barely notice the girls’ splashy entrance. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo Jr.’s playful art, Jim DeCarlo’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this 1982 slice of teen life captures the charm of a classic Archie beach day. The cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Jim DeCarlo, perfectly captures the lighthearted fun.
