Archie #210
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Why Me?", a prehistoric Reggie takes center stage with a revolutionary invention: the bow and arrow—though he calls it a "vine and stick." Despite the weapon only working when used backwards, Reggie remains stubbornly convinced of his design’s brilliance. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with inks by Marty Epp, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1971 classic features a delightfully absurd twist on invention and stubborn pride, all brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s iconic cover art and Rudy Lapick’s dynamic inks.
In "Why Me?", Archie's casual littering sparks a surprisingly far-reaching chain of events that spirals into unexpected environmental chaos—proving even small choices can have big consequences. Written with classic Archie charm and drawn with the series’ signature humor, this 1971 tale turns a simple moment of carelessness into a surprisingly pointed, if lighthearted, lesson.
In "The Backward Advance," prehistoric Reggie channels his inner inventor, crafting a "vine and stick" — his version of the bow and arrow — only to discover it works when used backwards. Despite the obvious logic of the situation, Reggie remains stubbornly committed to his original, upside-down method, leading to hilariously awkward results.
In "Pressure," Archie finds himself in the middle of a social test when a group of flashy rich boys try to lure Veronica away to a wilder party—only to discover just how far Archie’s loyalty and quick thinking can go. Written with classic Archie charm and drawn with crisp, expressive flair, the story captures a moment where friendship, nerves, and a little bit of pride collide in the most familiar of high school settings.
