The New Archies #7

The cover of The New Archies #7 captures pure summer-vacation energy, with young Archie and the gang bursting out of school in a jubilant stampede, shouting "Hooray! Summer vacation, here we come!" while a flustered Mr. Weatherbee and Ms. Grundy watch from an upper window as the kids make their gleeful escape. Henry Scarpelli's artwork gives the whole scene a bright, cartoon-friendly charm that perfectly matches the NBC Saturday morning series the issue proudly promotes. It's a cheerful 1988 snapshot of Riverdale's junior crew at their most relatable — counting down the seconds until the school year is finally, blissfully over.
