Life with Archie #285

A billiard hall sets the scene for this 1991 entry in Archie's 50th Anniversary celebration, with cover art by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli capturing the gang's familiar charm. The cover finds a smiling, curly-haired girl holding a pool cue front and center, while Archie leans over a shot at the table behind her — much to the amusement of Jughead, Reggie, and the rest of the onlooking crowd. The playful speech bubbles — "Pool is a game of concentration! And, boy, is Archie concentrating!" — say everything you need to know about who's really the center of attention here.
