With a girl sent out as bait, the prank takes a surprising turn when Archie himself is kissed—and suddenly, the identity of the Kisser becomes even more puzzling. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with inks by Terry Szenics, the issue features a cover by Samm Schwartz, capturing the lighthearted mystery of a 12-cent comic from 1964.
In "The Kisser Strikes!", Archie and Reggie take on a mystery that’s as playful as it is puzzling—someone’s been sneaking out at night to kiss every girl in Riverdale. When they set a trap using a decoy in the dark, the prank takes a surprising turn: Archie himself gets kissed, leading him to wonder if the Kisser might not be who they thought. With the clues shifting and the identity still hidden, the hunt for the shadowy smoocher heats up.
