Archie #177
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Messenger Service," Archie #177 (1967), Mr. Lodge and Smithers revel in the quiet of Archie’s absence—only to spiral into frantic anxiety over the possibility he might come back at any moment. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey with inks by Mario Acquaviva, the issue captures the classic humor of small-town chaos, all capped off with a delightfully exaggerated cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick.
In "Poetic License," Veronica makes a whimsical remark at the beach that sends Archie into gales of laughter. Determined to turn the tables, Archie studies up on grandiose poetic language, only to find Veronica far too serious to appreciate his newfound flair.
