Archie #171
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Remember the Daze," Archie #171 (1967) delivers a delightfully absurd twist on civic duty when Reggie and Veronica attempt to pry open Archie’s bag—despite Betty’s deadpan warnings about constitutional rights. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with crisp, expressive art by Harry Lucey, with inks by Vincent DeCarlo and lettering by the same, the issue captures the classic humor of Riverdale’s misadventures. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly captures the moment’s chaotic energy.
In "In the Bag," Reggie and Veronica grow suspicious of what Archie’s been hiding in his backpack, launching a comedic crusade to peek inside—despite Betty’s deadpan reminders that even teens have rights. The story unfolds with classic Archie charm, turning a simple bag into a constitutional showdown.
Archie learns the hard way that saying the name Malarky McGurk is bad luck—especially when the town’s ghostly resident, a long-dead figure known only by that name, seems to take offense. With a mix of classic Archie humor and a touch of spooky mischief, the story unfolds as Archie and his friends try to avoid the name while dodging one mishap after another.
