Cheryl Blossom #36

The redheaded Cheryl Blossom strides confidently through what looks like a school cafeteria setting on this cheerful 2001 Archie Comics cover, while a boy reads a book on telekinesis and a blonde girl delivers a sly wisecrack in a speech bubble — with two more amused guys reacting in the background. The playful interplay between the speech bubbles sets a light, comedic tone that fits right in with the Riverdale crowd's trademark humor. Cover pencils by Dan DeCarlo and inks by Henry Scarpelli give the scene that warm, polished Archie style fans have always loved, and the story title "Medium Well Done" hints at some fun supernatural shenanigans ahead.
