Archie Annual Digest #28
In "The Cure," Archie finds himself in a uniquely surreal situation when he crashes into a tree, causing his ego to split off and take on a life of its own—literally. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, this quirky 1976 annual offers a playful, self-aware take on teenage pride, with Archie engaging in a full-blown argument with his own inflated sense of self. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo, captures the moment with his signature flair.
