Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Bob White, this 1963 classic captures the usual high school chaos with a clever, character-driven mystery. The cover by Samm Schwartz perfectly captures the playful tension of the moment.
In "The House That Lodge Built," Archie finds himself in an unexpected moment of heroism when he spots a fire at the Lodge mansion—just the kind of chance he’s been hoping for to impress the usually unimpressed Mr. Lodge. With quick thinking and a dash of luck, Archie steps in to help, hoping this rare moment might finally earn him some respect from the man who’s always seen him as just a kid.
In "Card Caper!", Archie and Veronica find themselves tangled in a surprising twist when their report cards show swapped grades—better in Latin, worse in math—leading Miss Grundy to uncover the playful prank behind the academic swap.
In "It's Later Than You Think," Miss Grundy delivers a quick lesson on humanity’s late arrival in Earth’s timeline, and Archie seizes the moment to justify his tardiness—right as the bell rings.
