Archie's Double Digest Magazine #10

A 256-page dose of Riverdale fun, this 1984 digest packs in a remarkable amount of story for its $1.95 cover price. Dan DeCarlo's cover sets the cheerful tone with a two-panel party scene: in the top panel, a curious blonde asks Veronica — dressed to impress in a stylish black outfit — "What kind of party favors do you have, Ronnie?", to which she replies with a confident "The very best kind!"; the bottom panel delivers the punchline as the girls gleefully shout "Boys!" to a room full of suited young men, including Archie and Jughead, gathered around a party spread. DeCarlo's warm, expressive linework captures the breezy charm that made the Archie gang so enduringly lovable.
