SUMMARY:
Despite what the cover implies, this comic isn’t really Archie # 7. Published by Archie Comics for June 1997, this sixteen-page comic features these three Archie tales:
“Slip Sliding Summer Fun!” (6 pages). Script by Mike Pellowski, with art by Stan Goldberg; Henry Scarpelli; Bill Yoshida; & Barry Grossman. On a scorching summer day, Betty & Veronica share Archie at an ice-skating rink.
“Disguise the Limit” (5 pages). Script by Frank Doyle, with art by Stan Goldberg & Henry Scarpelli. Suspicious that Veronica is cheating on him, a disguised Archie takes Jughead to stake out a beach that Veronica has been frequenting.
“Caddy Shock” (5 pages). Script by Mike Pellowski, with art by Stan Goldberg & Henry Scarpelli. At the country club, Mr. Lodge is horrified that his new golf caddie is Archie.
REVIEW:
Sporting good artwork, these predictably harmless stories offer little in the chuckles department. Still, this issue offers an okay read for pre-teen fans. The cover image is frankly funnier than the actual stories.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
The inside front cover is an uncredited Archie comic strip entitled “List Twist.” With uncredited artwork, the back inside cover is a puzzle entitled “Archie’s Word Fun.” The back page has artist Rex W. Lindsey’s rendition of an Archie, Betty, & Jughead pin-up entitled “Windsurfin’ Fools.”
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 4 Stars
