Archie Giant Series Magazine #609

Little Archie's summer adventures take a splashy turn on this cheerful cover by Bob Bolling and inker Mike Esposito, where a red-headed young Archie attempts water skiing with predictably wobbly results, quipping "Maybe water skiing wasn't such a hot idea after all!" Friends watch from a dock and a nearby rock, while in the upper corner a ghost lurks behind two kids in what hints at the "Happy Haunting" story within. Rounding out the scene, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead enjoy the lakeside chaos from the shore, making this 1990 issue a warm slice of all-ages summer fun.
