Archie and Me #55

This Giant-sized 1973 installment of Archie and Me packs plenty of Riverdale humor right onto its cover. The scene unfolds in three panels: a chaotic collision at the top, Archie standing before a frazzled teacher at her desk cheerfully offering his choice of excuses for being late, and a flustered principal bolting from his office in a panic while a bemused student looks on. For a quarter, this oversized issue promises the kind of warm, comedic trouble only Archie Andrews can conjure on the way to school.
