In "Party of the First Part (Part 1)," Archie hits a low point, convinced his life is a series of misfortunes—so low, he announces he’s quitting the world and moving into a cave, much to his parents’ amusement. The gang, unaware of his dramatic decision, is actually meeting in that very cave, setting up a classic Archie-style mix-up that’s equal parts humor and heartfelt teenage angst. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo Jr. with inks by Rudy Lapick, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, the issue features a cover by Dan DeCarlo, capturing the chaos with his signature style.
