Pep #391

Pep #391 brings a fun snapshot of 1983 teen culture, with Archie, Betty, and Jughead dressed to the nines and posed front and center alongside a contented shaggy dog sprawled at their feet. Dan DeCarlo's cover art leans into the era's trends with a playful "What's In / What's Out" list — rockabilly and headbands are in, while platform shoes and Valley Girls are decidedly out. It's a cheerful, time-capsule slice of Riverdale life that captures exactly what made Archie Comics such a reliable fixture of the early '80s.
