Pep #385

Set against the backdrop of an amusement park, this 1982 installment of Pep captures the Riverdale gang in full summer-fun mode — Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead share a central circular vignette packed with roller coasters, rides, and the kind of awkward romantic comedy the series does so well. Speech bubbles hint at mischief and misplaced hands, while smaller scenes around the border feature the gang in various animated states of amusement-park chaos, plus a bonus appearance from Moose and Dilton "the Brain." With interior work from the creative team of Frank Doyle, Dan DeCarlo Jr., Rudy Lapick, Barry Grossman, and Bill Yoshida, this is a cheerful snapshot of Archie Comics at their breezy, sun-soaked best.
