Archie and Me #21

This June 1968 issue of Archie and Me delivers a delightfully relatable split cover: on top, a sweating Archie lies in bed tormented by a nightmare vision of an angry principal, while below, his equally flustered principal tosses and turns dreaming of a grinning Archie — both clearly losing sleep over each other. The symmetry is charming and instantly funny, with a tiny bonus gag up top where a little Martian waves a "Martian Go Home!" sign at a passing flying saucer. Joe Edwards's cover pencils set up the mutual misery with cheerful economy, making this a winning snapshot of the eternal student-versus-authority dynamic at the heart of the series.
