Life with Archie #284

Archie dons his varsity jersey and stands surrounded by an extraordinary spread of baseball memorabilia — cards bearing the likenesses of Sandy Koufax, Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson, Stan Musial, Bob Clemente, and Christy Mathewson, plus bats, a giant baseball, and stacks of collectibles — as the cover teases that a million-dollar collection has gone missing and Archie aims to track it down. Stan Goldberg's cover art makes terrific use of the cluttered, treasure-trove setting, giving the whole scene an infectious sense of baseball nostalgia that suits Archie's 50th Anniversary perfectly. A fun, sports-flavored adventure from the Archie Series that any baseball fan will want to pull off the shelf.
