Archie's Story & Game Digest Magazine #10

Here's a digest packed with Riverdale fun — cover-penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Jim DeCarlo, this 128-page edition of Archie's Story & Game Comics Digest Magazine catches Archie in a wonderfully absurd moment: seated at a checkerboard balanced on a soap box, he's somehow wowing the crowd while a speechless opponent in a "Rye 21" jersey looks on. Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and the coach all react with gleeful disbelief as someone shouts that Archie is out-jumping a seven-footer — making the gag all the funnier given he's clearly mid-checkers match. At $1.35 and 128 pages in 1989, this digest delivers a cheerful snapshot of Riverdale's irrepressible spirit.
