Archie's Double Digest Magazine #74

Archie is in fine form in this 1994 digest, hoisting a sign that promises "Swimming Lessons — FREE" (originally $25 per hour, neatly crossed out) while standing waist-deep in a pool, clearly hoping to impress the startled young woman in a red swimsuit standing at the pool's edge — while a small child in the water looks on, perhaps wondering if this instructor is entirely qualified. Cover pencils by Dan DeCarlo and inks by Henry Scarpelli give the poolside scene that breezy, sun-warmed charm the Archie line does so well. Packed with stories including "Canoe Relax?", this double digest delivers a generous helping of Riverdale fun in one compact package.
