Life with Archie #199

Archie and Veronica crouch wide-eyed behind jungle foliage on this cover by Stan Goldberg, desperately trying to stay hidden from a menacing procession of eerie robed figures, flickering torches, and a masked tribal figure — all promising that their vacation has taken a very wrong turn. The cover teases "voodoo drums, eerie robed figures and spine-chilling chants" on the "Island of Fear," a delightfully spooky premise for a 1978 Archie comic that leans further into adventure and suspense than the gang's usual Riverdale hijinks. If you enjoy seeing familiar characters dropped into genuinely unsettling situations, this issue looks like a fun, atmospheric ride.
