In "Language Barrier," Archie and Reggie find themselves in prehistoric times, where their usual rivalry takes a surprising turn as they debate how to build a language with Betty and Veronica. When the girls triumph by coining the word "Vamoose!" to send a dinosaur packing, the outcome is both hilarious and oddly effective. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with inks by Vincent DeCarlo and letters by Bill Yoshida, the cover by Harry Lucey and Mario Acquaviva captures the chaos in vivid, classic style.
