Archie #156
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Woman Scorned," Archie’s confidence gets a boost when Coach Kleats lets Big Moose help him practice wrestling—only to spiral into a full-blown throwing spree across Riverdale High. With Moose and the Coach trying to rein him in, Archie’s over-the-top enthusiasm quickly turns the school into his personal wrestling ring. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with inks by Mario Acquaviva and letters by the same, this 1965 classic features a cover by Samm Schwartz and Harry Lucey.
In "Woman Scorned," Betty’s patience snaps when Archie cancels yet another date, sending her on a surprisingly determined (and hilariously over-the-top) crusade to exact revenge. With falling trees and brick-laden wagons as her weapons, she’s determined to teach Archie a lesson—until Jughead steps in with a suggestion that might just calm the storm.
In "Hip Quips," Archie's usual teenage anxieties get a laugh when he tells Veronica she deserves better—only for her to surprisingly agree. Meanwhile, Big Ethel and her date hit Lover's Lane with a classic teen misadventure, and Archie and Reggie find comic relief in watching Veronica bowl. A lighthearted trio of gags captures the humor of high school life in 1965.
In "Bully For You," Archie’s confidence gets a boost when Coach Kleats lets Big Moose help him practice wrestling—only to quickly spiral when Archie starts throwing everyone he meets, from teachers to classmates. Now it’s up to the Coach and Moose to rein in Archie’s newfound enthusiasm before things get out of hand.
In "Couch Coach," Archie finds himself unexpectedly on the therapist’s couch—literally—when Mr. Lodge’s psychiatrist seeks out the source of his client’s stress: Archie himself. Instead of dissecting Archie’s antics, the doctor ends up unpacking his own past, with the teen offering surprisingly sharp insights from the comfort of a living room sofa.
