Cheryl Blossom #32

A sunny tennis court sets the scene for some classic Archie Comics flirtation in this July 2000 issue of Cheryl Blossom. On the cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Henry Scarpelli, a smitten Cheryl leans in close to a flustered Archie at the net — hearts floating in the air — while a watchful dark-haired figure lingers in the background with her own racket. Cheryl's quip, "Archie, aren't you playing a bit too close to the net?" says everything about her playful, competitive charm, making this a delightful snapshot of the redhead at her most irresistible.
