Archie Annual #20
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Date," Pop Tate’s retirement from the Chok'lit Shoppe sends shockwaves through Riverdale, especially when his beloved shop is taken over by a new owner who’s anything but welcoming. As Pop settles into his Florida condo, the kids find themselves stuck in a world without their favorite hangout—and Jo might just be the one to help fix it. Written, drawn, and inked by Bob Bolling, with lettering by Bill Yoshida, this 1968 annual captures a quiet moment of change in a town built on routine. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the bittersweet mood of a life turned new.
When Pop Tate retires and moves to Wrinkle City, Florida, the Riverdale gang is left without their favorite shopkeeper—but the new owner of the Chok'lit Shoppe isn’t making things any easier. As Pop finds himself missing the chaos of Riverdale, the kids start to realize just how much they miss his presence.
