In "Karate Kraze," Archie’s daydreaming about Veronica takes a dangerous turn when he nearly crashes his bike—only to narrowly avoid disaster thanks to his trusty Bendix brakes. The moment turns into a comical showdown with a frustrated driver, both claiming their brakes are the best, before Veronica delivers a surprise safety reminder. Penciled by Harry Lucey and inked by Marty Epp, this 1968 classic captures Archie’s charm and misadventures with its signature lighthearted energy, while Joe Edwards and Jon D’Agostino’s cover adds a playful touch to the issue.
