“Running Away”

A relatable slice of late-1980s teenage life greets you on this cover, where Archie sits at a homework-laden desk wishing he could "fast forward" through his studying — a gag that lands perfectly in the era of VCRs and remote controls. Behind him, two adults are settled on the couch clicking through the TV, the whirring and clicking sound effects adding a lively, lived-in energy to the scene. Dan DeCarlo's cover pencils give the whole image that warm, cheerful Riverdale charm that made this series a staple of the Archie lineup.
