Everything's Archie #138

A sunny beach scene sets the mood for this 1988 entry in the long-running Everything's Archie series, with Dan DeCarlo's cover pencils capturing Archie grinning amid a crowd of swimsuit-clad friends — including a flustered companion clutching a popsicle — as the playful caption debate ("Too much sun?" / "Too much swimsuits!") tells you everything about the carefree summer energy on display. The Riverdale gang fills every corner of the sandy shoreline, from a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to a stylish one-piece in the foreground, making this feel like the ultimate beach-day hangout. Inside, writer George Gladir and artist Stan Goldberg — spotlighted here as Archie's "Artist of the Month" — deliver the story "Good For Nothing," promising the warm, lighthearted fun that made this series a perennial favorite.
