World of Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #16

In "Charity Ball!", Melody finds herself reluctantly entered into a beauty contest by Alex, sparking a panic—her parents have warned her they’ll disown her if she brings home another trophy. Josie and Pepper rally to sabotage the event, trying to hide Melody’s charm with increasingly absurd disguises, but her natural allure keeps breaking through. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo with inks by Rudy Lapick and letters by Vincent DeCarlo, this lighthearted tale unfolds with classic Archie charm, all capped off by a vibrant cover by Fernando Ruiz and Rich Koslowski.
