Pep #371

Reggie Mantle is clearly not shy about self-promotion — the cover of Pep #371 bursts with campaign signs, banners, and supporters all rallying behind "Reggie for President" outside Riverdale High, while Reggie himself lounges across a float looking every bit the confident candidate. Archie and a friend look on with amusement, delivering the cover's perfect punchline about a little humility. Stan G.'s cover art captures that cheerful, gag-driven energy that made Archie Comics such a dependable good time in 1981.
