Pep Comics #131

A dentist's waiting room becomes the stage for classic Archie humor in this February 1959 issue — on the cover by Harry Lucey, a scolding Veronica informs Archie he's an hour late for his appointment, while a nervous, stars-swirling Archie cheerfully explains he told the dentist to just start without him. The Archie Series lineup of familiar faces runs down the left spine, making this a cozy snapshot of Riverdale's full cast. At a dime a copy, Pep Comics #131 delivers the kind of lighthearted, relatable comedy that made this series a staple of 1959 newsstand racks.
