Pep #398

Archie's license plate says it all on this cheerful January 1985 cover by Dan DeCarlo — Archie and Betty proudly show off their matching "No Bozos" stickers (one on the car, one on the front door), while Reggie and Veronica share a knowing look that suggests the joke may be on someone in particular. It's a perfectly timed snapshot of Riverdale humor, rendered in DeCarlo's crisp, warm linework with the bright colors that defined mid-'80s Archie Comics. Inside, the story "Let's Dance" promises the kind of lighthearted fun this long-running anthology series delivered month after month.
