Little Archie #54

Little Archie is up to his cheerful mischief in this 1969 giant-sized issue, where the cover finds him sporting a bold dollar-sign sweater as he walks alongside a smiling Betty, earning hearts and eye-rolls in equal measure from Veronica, Jughead, and Reggie looking on. The speech bubbles make clear his classmates have figured out his sneaky strategy for hinting at an allowance raise, which is exactly the kind of wholesome, clever kid humor that made this series such a delight. Packed with "all new stories" and priced at just 25 cents, issue #54 is a warm slice of Riverdale childhood charm.
