Archie #193
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Big Hit," Greg’s attempt to return a borrowed radio takes a sticky turn when he gifts L'il Jinx a dozen packs of bubblegum—just as she’s about to deliver a crucial piece of news. With gum in her mouth and her voice muffled, she’s left in stunned silence as Greg delivers the unexpected truth. Written and drawn by Joe Edwards, this 1969 classic captures the humor and heart of Riverdale’s misadventures, with Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick bringing the cover to life.
When Archie accidentally grabs a rare $1000 stamp from Mr. Lodge’s desk while trying to help Veronica with her letter, he unwittingly sets off a chain of events that’s equal parts prank and panic. The story follows Archie’s frantic attempts to return the stamp before anyone notices—especially Mr. Lodge—while navigating the usual chaos of Riverdale’s teen antics.
Jo gets a dozen packs of bubblegum from Greg, only to find herself stuck with several pieces in her mouth when he delivers the news about the radio he borrowed—leaving her unable to talk or react.
