Pep #151

Pep #151 brings a delightfully offbeat twist to Riverdale's social scene, with Reggie strolling contentedly alongside a space-suited alien woman while a horrified Archie is left holding hands with her decidedly extraterrestrial companion — a flying saucer overhead cheerfully declaring "Earth or Bust!" The cover, penciled by Bob White, captures the gang's trademark comic misfortune with a light sci-fi spin that feels perfectly at home in 1961's space-age pop culture. If you've ever wondered what happens when Reggie's blind date ideas go intergalactic, this issue's cover makes the answer irresistibly clear.
