Archie's Story & Game Digest Magazine #17

A checkers game goes hilariously sideways on the cover of this 1990 digest, where Archie quips about asking Moose to "crown" him — with the thoroughly flattened Moose sprawled on the floor amid stars and impact marks making the punchline perfectly clear. A worried-looking Reggie and a wide-eyed Betty look on beside the checkerboard table, capturing that warm, goofy Riverdale energy Dan DeCarlo drew so effortlessly. Packed with 128 pages of stories and games, including "Lingering Summer," this is a thoroughly satisfying digest for any Archie fan.
