Everything's Archie #69

A sunny beach day sets the scene for this 1978 installment of Everything's Archie, with Archie cozying up between Betty and Veronica on the sand while a beach volleyball game plays out behind them — complete with a fun double-meaning gag in the speech bubbles. Dan DeCarlo's breezy pencils capture the effortless charm of Riverdale's favorite gang in full summer mode, from the sun tan oil at Veronica's side to the musical band vignette dancing across the masthead. It's a warm, lighthearted slice of Archie fun at a classic 35-cent price point.
