Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #134

A breezy summer afternoon in Riverdale takes center stage on this 1979 entry in the long-running series, with cover art by Stan Goldberg capturing the gang in full kite-flying mode — Betty confidently steering a patriotic kite string while Archie and a pal lounge in the grass, Veronica relaxes in the foreground, and Chuck sports a boombox and shades as he watches the action unfold. The playful banter in the speech bubbles ("Kites come in all sorts of fascinating shapes, Arch!" / "So do kite flyers, Jug!") sets the light, good-natured tone that makes this title such a warm read. Inside, writer Frank Doyle and artist Harry Lucey deliver "Triple Trouble," promising the kind of cheerful, character-driven comedy that kept Archie's Pals 'n' Gals a staple of the spinner rack.
