Archie Giant Series Magazine #585

Sun, sand, and Riverdale's finest converge in this oversized 1988 summer special, where Betty and Veronica stride confidently along the beach in numbered swimsuits while a distracted Archie reads his Advanced Algebra book and Dilton reacts with wide-eyed delight — a perfectly charming snapshot of the gang's contrasting summer priorities. Dan DeCarlo's cover art captures the breezy, sun-drenched energy that made these Giant Series annuals such a treat, with a seagull wheeling overhead and a speech bubble gag about numbers that ties the whole scene together with a wink. Frank Doyle rounds out the creative team for the interior story "The Prints of Wails," making this a solid all-around package of classic Archie summer fun.
