Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #88

Summer arrives in full Riverdale style with this 1974 issue, featuring a sun-drenched beach scene where Betty and Veronica are stretched out on towels soaking up rays while Archie and Jughead look on with a perfectly timed gag — "Why do girls insist on getting burned?" "So they can be the toast of the town!" Dan DeCarlo's breezy cover pencils and inks capture that effortlessly fun Archie charm, from the beach umbrella and scattered bags to the lively activity strip across the top. Inside, writer George Gladir delivers a story called "Momma's Boy," with lettering by Bill Yoshida and colors by Barry Grossman rounding out the creative team.
