“Sandman”

In "Sandman," Archie’s latest beach-day experiment takes a magnetic turn when he brings a big magnet to the shore, only to have it pull every metal object in sight—including Jughead’s prized hat—into chaos. 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 1974 issue captures the usual Riverdale antics with a surprising twist. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the moment of metallic mayhem.
