“Male Call”

In "Male Call," Mr. Lodge attempts to inspire Archie with a tale of his rise to wealth—only to ramble through his entire life story without ever revealing the secret. It’s only when Veronica gently points out the missing piece that the truth comes to light: he became rich by marrying a millionairess. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic flair by artist Harry Lucey, inks by Mario Acquaviva, and lettering by Victor Gorelick, this 1965 issue features a cover by Bill Vigoda and Marty Epp.
