“Age Before Duty”

In "Age Before Duty," Archie #231 (1973), the Riverdale gang finds itself distracted by the arrival of their new substitute teacher, Miss Betty Lou Clutchgrapple—a striking, miniskirted blonde with a flair for storytelling and little interest in lesson plans. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic charm by artist Harry Lucey, inks by Chic Stone, and colors by Barry Grossman, this lighthearted tale captures the usual teenage chaos, all capped off with a playful cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick.
