Katy Keene #26

A breezy June 1988 entry in Archie's Romance Series, this issue puts Katy Keene's sharp sense of style front and center — quite literally. John Lucas's cover captures three young women on a city sidewalk, trading cheerful quips about the tradeoffs of mini-skirt fashion, with the bold color-blocked outfits (fan-designed, as noted in the credits below) doing as much talking as the speech bubbles. It's a warm, lighthearted snapshot of late-'80s teen fashion culture that makes Katy Keene #26 a fun addition to any Archie Romance Series collection.
