Everything's Archie #131

The Archies are hauling their gear with cheerful chaos on this September 1987 cover by Dan DeCarlo — Veronica reads a Rock News clipping declaring the band's music "real heavy," while Archie, Betty, and the rest struggle to unload massive speakers and equipment from the van with the wry rejoinder that the gear is equally heavy. Celebrating Archie Comics' 45th Anniversary, this issue pairs that lively cover energy with the interior story "Little Lost Drummer Boy," written by Rich Margopoulos with art by Rex Lindsey. A fun, lighthearted slice of Riverdale rock-and-roll life that fits perfectly into the long-running Everything's Archie series.
