Archie's Joke Book Magazine #97

The Riverdale gang heads to the 1966 Auto Show, and naturally Archie has eyes for a very different kind of "model" — as the cover gag makes perfectly clear, with Archie enthusiastically pointing toward Betty while Jughead leans over a sleek turquoise convertible and Veronica looks on with characteristic cool. Dan DeCarlo's clean, expressive linework captures the era's breezy optimism beautifully, filling the showroom floor with bright new cars and the gang's unmistakable personalities. A warm, cheerful package of Archie humor at its mid-1960s best.
