Archie's Double Digest Magazine #68

Archie takes center stage at the "Muscle Beach Body Building Contest" on this cheerful 1993 digest cover, flexing confidently in his red trunks while an enthusiastic crowd of Riverdale faces — including several girls in swimsuits and a seriously muscular competitor — cheer and pose behind him on the sunny shore. It's a wonderfully lighthearted snapshot of Archie's eternal optimism, rendered with Dan DeCarlo's pencils and Alison Flood's inks in that warm, inviting style the series does so well. Packed with reprints and the original story "Down the Drain," this digest delivers plenty of Riverdale fun in one affordable volume.
