In "Messenger Service," Little Archie finds himself in the middle of a tropical adventure when a storm strands a ship near Isle of Palms—just as Mad Madam Doom's prophecy foretold. With her eerie prediction coming true, Mad Doctor Doom is ready with a wild plan involving Slurch, a pizza-shaped surfboard, and a giant barracuda named Big Barry, all aimed at his red-haired rival. Written and drawn by Bob Bolling, this 1978 annual blends classic Archie charm with outlandish hijinks, all capped off with a vibrant cover by Dan DeCarlo.

Mad Doctor Doom's relative, the witch Mad Madam Doom, foretells that his next meeting with Little Archie will be in the tropics, and that his red-haired nemesis will be surfing. Sure enough, a tropical storm strands the "Pride of Walvis Bay" outside Isle of Palms just as Little Archie is accompanying his father there on a trip. Thanks to the Mad Madam's prediction, Mad Doctor Doom is ready with a scheme to kill Little Archie, involving his flat-headed servant Slurch, a pizza-shaped surfboard, and a ravenous giant barracuda named "Big Barry."
