ARCHIE COMICS #61
(On Newsstands in January 1953)

'The Mirth of a Nation' they'd proclaimed since issue #1 and 'America's Typical Teenager' since #13, but 'America's Largest Selling Teen-Age Magazine' was now over 4 years (since #34), and Archie popularity was at it's peak!

Wow... speaking of success, what a great ad showcasing all that's going on at Archie Comics! And notice the unintentional foreshadowing of 'good clean fun', as the Wertham Senate hearings were just over a year away...

Yep... good clean fun... Veronica in her riding outfit and Archie around animals. He makes humans nervous enough as it is!
