☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Dates," the teens of Riverdale High rally together when they notice their school falling apart due to lack of funding, launching a student-led demonstration to demand better support. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo Jr.'s expressive art, Jim DeCarlo’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this 1989 issue captures the spirit of youthful activism with the signature charm of the Archie universe. The cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Jim DeCarlo, perfectly frames the moment with its lively, classic style.
In "Skin Game," Alexandra's love for real fur coats puts her at odds with Mr. Cabot and Jo, who are both concerned about the ethics behind her choices. When Jo and Valerie devise a clever plan to convince Alexandra to switch to synthetic fur, the stage is set for a lighthearted showdown of values and style.
In "Prove It," Veronica challenges the boys at school to prove their love by showing up at the prom with the most extravagant gesture—only to be caught off guard when their over-the-top displays leave her flustered and embarrassed. The story captures the playful, high-stakes drama of teenage romance with a twist of humor and heart.
In "Sign Off," Jo and their classmates rally around Riverdale High, rallying for better funding and care as the school’s condition grows increasingly dire. With a mix of determination and teenage spirit, they take a stand—because some battles aren’t fought with fists, but with signs, voices, and a shared belief that their school matters.
