In "Rock Candi," the Archies hit a wall when their music practice is shut down by concerned adults—until they devise a clever solution to rehearse at the Cooper house without disturbing Mrs. Cooper. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey with inks by Marty Epp and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 2023 issue captures the band’s creative spirit and the familiar charm of Riverdale’s teenage antics. The cover by Holly Golightly perfectly captures the moment’s energy.
