Everything's Archie #119

The boardwalk is in full summer swing for Everything's Archie #119, as a "Most Unusual Shades Contest" draws a colorful crowd of contestants sporting wildly creative eyewear — including one enthusiastic entrant in the foreground whose miniature striped-awning sunglasses have clearly caught a judge's attention, prompting the delighted exclamation, "I think I just spotted our winner!" Dan DeCarlo's cover pencils capture the breezy, beachside fun with a lineup of contestants in everything from oversized yellow frames to dramatic dark shades, while two suited judges deliberate nearby. It's a warm, playful snapshot of the lighthearted humor that makes the Archie gang's summer adventures so consistently enjoyable.
