Pep #315

In "The Mark of a Friend," Archie finds himself caught in a whirlwind of teenage rivalry when Veronica's promise to avoid other boys for a month is tested by a pair of rock concert tickets in Reggie's hands. Written by Jim Ruth and brought to life with vibrant energy by artist Chic Stone, inks by Jon D'Agostino, and color by Barry Grossman, this 1976 classic captures the timeless tension of friendship, jealousy, and first love—all under the simple, sharp eye of Bill Yoshida’s lettering.
