Archie Annual Digest #40

Jan 1982 · Archie · 0.95 USD
“Gimme Shelter”

In "Gimme Shelter," Archie’s usual mix-up takes a turn when his broken clock clocking him in late leads to a misunderstanding with Mr. Weatherbee—so he wraps his hand in bandages to avoid explaining. With Dan DeCarlo’s classic cover art and Joe Edwards’ expressive interiors, this 1982 Archie Annual Digest #40 delivers a sweet, silly slice of Riverdale life.
