Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo Jr.’s crisp art, Jim DeCarlo’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s letters, this 1978 classic captures the timeless humor of Riverdale’s misfits. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the mischief in motion.
In "The Bellboy," Archie’s latest attempt to dodge Mr. Weatherbee’s scolding backfires when he rigs Dilton’s alarm clock—only to find the prank spirals when both he and Dilton end up late again the next day. With a mix of classic teen chaos and Dilton’s over-the-top precision, the trio’s morning routine takes a hilarious detour.
In "Of Mind & Muscle," Archie puts his usual confidence to the test when he tries to talk his way out of a fight—only to discover that bravado doesn’t always stand up to a tough-looking opponent. With his usual mix of bravado and bumbling charm, Archie faces a moment where his words might not be enough to save him.
Archie’s newfound habit of telling the truth spirals hilariously when he accidentally gets away with it in front of Mr. Weatherbee—only to find himself in over his head when Betty steps in with a clever test, forcing Archie to answer a question in front of Moose.
