Archie #648

In "The Clod of Thunder," Archie the Clod of Thunder—son of the celestial prankster Andrews the All-Aggravating—gets banished to Earth for defying his father. There, he stumbles into the chaos of teenage life, where girls prove to be just as unpredictable as the thunder he carries. Written by Tom DeFalco and brought to life by Fernando Ruiz’s art, with inks by Rich Koslowski and colors by Digikore Studios, this 2013 issue captures a cosmic misfit finding his footing—on a planet full of heart and high school drama. The cover, penciled by Ruiz and inked by Bob Smith, captures Archie’s thunderous arrival in classic Archie style.
