Pep #271

A lively Monopoly night turns into a comedy of manners as Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and Reggie crowd around the board — Veronica demanding "$600 or six kisses!" for her hotel while Betty waves the rulebook and Archie looks appropriately flustered. Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick's cover captures that irresistible Archie gang energy, where even a board game becomes a battle of wit, charm, and romantic maneuvering. At just 20 cents, this November 1972 issue of Pep is a cheerful snapshot of Riverdale at its most entertainingly chaotic.
