“The Big Rush!”

In "The Big Rush!", Archie gets a heartfelt idea when Mr. Lodge shows unexpected nostalgia over an old Jack-in-the-box in a store window. Without telling him, Archie sets out to restore the toy as a surprise gift, leading to a lighthearted and earnest adventure. Written by Craig Boldman and brought to life with warm, classic flair by Stan Goldberg (pencils) and Bob Smith (inks), this 2004 issue captures the charm of Riverdale’s everyday moments.
