Archie Annual #22
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Brighter Side," Archie parts with his stake in an oyster boat, setting Jughead on a quest to find a fabled lost oyster bed alongside Girtha Gooseby. Meanwhile, Ethel, hearing rumors of Jughead’s solo adventure with another girl, resolves to join the journey—no matter the cost. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with colors by Barry Grossman and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1970 annual features Dan DeCarlo’s signature cover art, capturing the lighthearted chaos of Riverdale’s most mischievous trio.
When Betty’s skill with a paintbrush earns Archie’s praise, Veronica decides she needs to up her game—so she invites Archie to the mansion to admire her own artwork, then enlists a professional painter to give her a crash course. It’s a splash of rivalry, a splash of vanity, and a whole lot of teenage artistry in this lighthearted 1970s gem.
In "Search For A Bivalve Retreat," Jughead, left without his usual snacks after selling his share of an oyster boat, teams up with Girtha Gooseby on a quest for a legendary lost oyster bed. When Ethel hears Jughead’s on a boat with another girl, she’s not about to let that go — and she’s got a plan to make sure the waters stay just right.
