Reggie and Me #118

With a gas shortage looming in 1979, Reggie is the envy of the Riverdale gang — and the cover by Stan Goldberg and Jon D'Agostino captures the moment perfectly, showing Archie pulling up to Al's Service Station in his red jalopy while Reggie, flanked by a delighted Betty and Veronica, soaks up the admiring attention of the crowd gathered around him. The speech bubbles say it all: as word spreads that there may be another gas shortage, everyone agrees that "Lucky Reggie will never run out of gas!" It's a wonderfully timely slice of Riverdale life, with George Gladir's writing and Dan DeCarlo Jr.'s artwork promising plenty of laughs inside.
