Archie Annual #23

In "The Inferior Decorator," the Archies are enlisted to liven up one of Mr. Lodge’s parties, only to be saddled with outrageous mod costumes designed by the flamboyant Mrs. Lodge’s hired decorator—costumes so distracting, they sabotage the band’s performance. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with inks by Marty Epp and colors by Barry Grossman, the story captures the era’s playful spirit, all framed by Dan DeCarlo’s dynamic cover art and Rudy Lapick’s crisp inks.
