Archie's Joke Book Magazine #192

From January 1974 comes this cheerful entry in Archie's long-running humor anthology, with cover art by Dan DeCarlo capturing Reggie Mantle in full showoff mode — arms raised, practically spinning off the dance floor at a teenage party while Veronica and a crowd of familiar Riverdale faces look on with a mix of amusement and exasperation. The cover gag says it all: Reggie isn't just louder than the stereo, he knows it. DeCarlo's effortlessly fun linework and those groovy early-'70s fashions make this a warm snapshot of Riverdale at its most lively.
