Archie Giant Series Magazine #584

Sand, surf, and the Pussycats — Dan DeCarlo's sun-drenched cover for this 1988 Archie Giant Series Magazine captures Josie, Valerie, and Melody hitting the beach with surfboards in hand, trading quips about the waves while two guys nearby are clearly more interested in the girls than the ocean. It's a breezy, pitch-perfect summer scene that showcases DeCarlo's effortlessly fluid character work at its cheerful best. With Frank Doyle scripting and a story titled "Cat at the Crossroads," there's plenty of fun waiting inside this oversized Josie and the Pussycats collection.
