Archie Annual #15
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Call of the Wild," Archie’s heartfelt (and hilariously loud) cries for Veronica send shockwaves through Lodge Manor—shattering delicate crystal with every wail, much to Mr. Lodge’s utter dismay. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic flair by artist Harry Lucey, inks by Mario Acquaviva, and lettering by Mario Acquaviva, this 1963 annual captures the chaos of teenage romance in a single, unforgettable scene. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the absurdity of the moment.
Archie’s dramatic, record-breaking wail for Veronica—so loud it echoes like a vintage Spike Jones novelty tune—has the unintended consequence of shattering every delicate crystal piece in Mr. Lodge’s mansion, much to the elder Lodge’s utter dismay.
In "Keyboard Caper," Archie devises a clever ruse to hide Mr. Lodge’s surprise piano gift for Veronica by having Betty show up wearing a ring—only to watch Veronica’s jealousy blind her to the obvious. The prank unfolds with classic teen mischief, as Archie’s scheme hinges on a single, perfectly timed misunderstanding.
