Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #41
In "Bad Breaks," Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #41, Veronica throws a western-style birthday bash that quickly turns into a test of tradition versus modern teen spirit. When Mr. Lodge divides the group by gender—girls in a cook-off, boys on a mechanical bull—everyone’s assumptions get a serious shake-up. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with vibrant art by Stan Goldberg, this 1999 gem captures the spirit of the '90s with a playful twist, all wrapped in a cover by Goldberg and Scarpelli.
