Just so there’s a working solution posted for whomever might need it, here’s what I came up with. Thanks for your help.

$striptype = sanitize_text_field( get_query_var( 'striptype' ) ); // calls the striptype from the URL and sanitizes the input so we can have one archive page that brings up archives in different languages

$posts = get_posts(array(
	'posts_per_page' => 25,
	'post_type'	 => 'post',
	'orderby'        => 'date',
        'order'          => 'ASC',
	'meta_query'     => array (
	array (
                            'key' => $striptype, //this queries the metadata on the strips, in this case the advanced custom fields, looking for any that are not empty
                            'value' => '',
                            'compare' => '!=',
                             ),
	 ),
));

and then further down to actually display the retrieved images there’s one of these code blocks for every language:

if ($striptype == 'spanish_strip') {
$image = get_field('spanish_strip');
$size = 'full'; // (thumbnail, medium, large, full or custom size)
if( $image ) {
	//echo "<strong>Spanish Strip:</strong><br>";
    echo wp_get_attachment_image( $image, $size ); 
	echo "<br><br>";
}
