“The Silks of Svengasi”

Archie's definition of "working during winter vacation" is apparently hitting the ski slopes — and that punchline plays out perfectly across this two-panel cover, with a baffled dark-haired young woman and a red-hatted blonde looking on as Archie glides past a "Bowl at Acme Lanes" banner on skis. Stan Goldberg's pencils capture the snowy mountain setting with cheerful energy, delivering that signature Riverdale wit in a single glance. At just 50 cents in 1981, Life with Archie #222 promises the kind of lighthearted seasonal fun the series does so well.
