Archie #448
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Scams of Spring," Mr. Lodge frets over protecting his valuable bearer bonds during transport, prompting Archie to suggest a surprising solution—dressing more casually to avoid attention. With Stan Goldberg’s familiar art and Henry Scarpelli’s crisp inks bringing the antics to life, this 1996 classic blends small-town humor with a touch of high-stakes worry.
In "A Clothes Encounter of the Worst Kind," Mr. Lodge frets over protecting his bearer bonds during a risky transport—until Archie suggests he ditch his flashy style for something more inconspicuous. The idea sets off a chain of comedic misadventures as Mr. Lodge tries to blend in, all while clinging to his usual flair.
