World of Archie #22
In "So How Was Your Vacation?", Archie faces a new kind of challenge when Veronica, fed up with his usual distractions, lays out her frustrations on the Phil Dynamo show. Inspired by her words, Archie resolves to pay closer attention—putting his promise to the test during a date with new student Samantha Sutcliff. Written by Hal Lifson and brought to life by Rex Lindsey’s full art and coloring, this 1997 issue captures the charm and awkwardness of teenage romance with a touch of self-aware humor. The cover, also by Rex Lindsey, perfectly frames the moment with a classic Archie-style snapshot of the cast in playful, expressive detail.
