Everything's Archie #82

The cover of Everything's Archie #82 sets up a perfectly Riverdale-style gag: a blonde girl excitedly shows Archie a photo she snapped of him "slam-dunking the ball," while below we see how the shot was really achieved — Archie perched on a stepladder reaching for a basketball hoop as his friend calls out for him to come down. It's the kind of warm, good-natured humor that made these 1980 Archie titles such dependable fun, with bright, clean artwork bringing the joke to life across both panels. A cheerful pick for fans of classic Archie comedy.
