Pep #167

Anyone who's ever argued with a significant other over a song will immediately recognize the charm of this November 1963 Archie Series entry. The cover tells its own complete little story across three panels: Veronica and Archie start sweetly at the jukebox — "Archiekins, let's play our song!" — before a disagreement over whether it's "Love Me Lovely" or "Strange Strangers" escalates into a full-on nose-to-nose standoff by the final panel. At 12 cents, Pep #167 delivers exactly the kind of warm, relatable humor that made the Riverdale gang so enduring.
