“The Dark Spot”

In "The Dark Spot," Archie's latest science experiment goes hilariously awry when a mysterious black spot begins leaping from person to person, granting each victim the odd power to walk through walls—just for a little while. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic flair by Dan DeCarlo Jr. and Jim DeCarlo, this 1978 adventure blends teen mischief with a touch of supernatural silliness. The cover by Dan DeCarlo Jr. and Jim DeCarlo captures the moment the spot takes hold, a 35-cent slice of Archie Comics charm from the late '70s.
