Archie #185
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Music Soothes," Archie faces a classic dilemma when Veronica insists he land a job to afford proper dates—only to find his new work leaves him too exhausted for the evening out she’s been dreaming of. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic charm by artist Harry Lucey, inks by Marty Epp, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1968 issue captures the everyday drama of Riverdale with a touch of musical flair. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly captures the moment’s tension and humor.
When the Archies are banned from practicing their music due to noise complaints, they scramble to find a spot that won’t disturb the neighbors—until they devise a clever plan to rehearse at the Cooper house without waking Mrs. Cooper.
When Pop Tate considers closing the Chok'lit Shoppe due to financial trouble, Mr. Lodge steps in with an unexpected solution—arranging for a Hollywood movie crew to shoot a scene at the diner. The sudden attention turns the shoppe into a temporary spotlight, but with Jo and the gang caught in the chaos, the real question is whether the spotlight will last.
