Archie #352

In the sweltering heat, Archie gets a clever reprieve with a fan built by Dilton Doiley—its motor salvaged from a broken camera and powered by the camera’s battery case. Reggie scoffs at first, but when a thief tries to snatch the fan, thinking it’s a camera, Archie’s makeshift gadget proves unexpectedly handy.

In "The Source," Archie faces a classic dilemma: he wants to thank Betty for helping with his car, but worries that showing her attention might ruffle Veronica’s feathers. Jughead, ever the pragmatist, suggests a simple solution—buying gifts for both girls—and the plan sets off a quiet chain of reactions. Betty happily accepts her gift, but Veronica’s sharp eye catches on, leaving her wondering what’s really behind Archie’s sudden generosity.

In "Brave New World!", Archie daydreams his way through a heroic beach adventure—facing down a bully, rescuing a girl from the waves, and outsmarting trouble all while his friends stand by. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story captures Archie’s playful imagination in a lighthearted, slice-of-life moment with a dash of fantasy.

In "Sail Tale," Reggie tries to impress Mr. Lodge by training for his exclusive sailboard team bound for Hawaii—only to accidentally convince Archie that it’s a breeze. When Archie’s chaotic attempt at sailboarding lands him a spot on the team, Reggie’s plan backfires in the most hilariously unexpected way.
