Pep #294

The Riverdale gang heads to the beach in this sunny 1974 installment of Pep, with Archie snapping photos as Veronica and the boys — including Moose — stack themselves into a human pyramid near Lifeguard Station 7. The two-panel cover layout captures the comedic before-and-after perfectly: Archie eager to please, then perched on the lifeguard stand clicking away while the whole pyramid wobbles in frame. It's a warm, breezy slice of Archie Series fun at a classic 25-cent price point.
