In "A Good Skate," Archie’s curiosity turns to obsession when he picks up a skateboard from a kid at the park and brings it to Riverdale High—where it quickly becomes the talk of the school. With everyone from Jughead to Archie himself eager to try it out, the real surprise comes when Mr. Weatherbee, ever the stickler for rules, ends up taking an unexpected ride on the board. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic charm by Harry Lucey, with inks by Mario Acquaviva and a cover by Dan DeCarlo, this 1983 issue captures the playful spirit of Riverdale at its most mischievous.
