Pep #350

Archie Andrews is at the piano, fingers flying and musical notes filling the air, while Betty, Veronica, and Jughead look on — and the speech bubbles make it delightfully clear that his untrained playing has said something all on its own. The Riverdale gang also crowds cheerfully across the top banner, giving this 1979 issue of Pep that warm ensemble energy the series always delivered so well. Writer Frank Doyle and artist Dan DeCarlo Jr. (inked by Jim DeCarlo, lettered by Bill Yoshida) bring their reliable charm to issue #350, a satisfying milestone for any fan of Archie Comics.
