Katy Keene #15

Katy Keene hits the Sunrise Health Club in this cheerful June 1986 entry, with John Lucas's cover showcasing the fashion-forward heroine in full workout gear — leggings, leg warmers, and a dumbbell in hand — ready to get in shape for summer. Surrounding her are fellow gym-goers, including a friend on a stationary bike and an admiring onlooker, all rendered with the warm, breezy energy that makes this Archie Romance Series title such a delight. With exercise fashions credited to Helen Moore of Chicago, even the cover doubles as a snapshot of mid-'80s fitness style.
