Everything's Archie #46
In "The Exhibit's Escape," Archie tries to impress Veronica with a fancy dinner, only to be sidetracked when she spots a girl in an identical dress. Her sudden demand for a new outfit puts Archie in a tight spot—especially when he realizes he can’t afford both the original dress and the replacement. Written by Jim Ruth and brought to life by Dick Malmgren’s art, with inks by Jon D’Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and lettering by Bill Yoshida, this 1976 classic captures the sweet, silly tension of teenage romance with a splash of comic timing. The cover by Dick Malmgren perfectly captures the moment’s drama.
