Pep Comics #60

A charming slice of Riverdale mischief from 1947, this issue of Pep Comics puts Archie Andrews front and center in a classic bit of oblivious comedy — on the cover, a girl points admiringly at a tall ship in a display window asking "Hasn't she got beautiful lines, Archie?", while Archie enthusiastically agrees, clearly eyeing the dark-haired girl beside him rather than the vessel. Al Fagaly's clean, expressive linework captures the trio's body language with delightful wit, perfectly setting the breezy, humor-forward tone that made Archie a mainstay of mid-century comics.
