Archie Annual Digest #48

In "Chiminey Crickets," Archie and Betty take it upon themselves to help Dilton find a friend—specifically, a small girl named Tessie Turner—though they’re not sure if their matchmaker efforts will land on common ground. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Harry Lucey’s expressive art, Chic Stone’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this 1986 annual offers a sweet, lighthearted look at friendship and first impressions. The cover, a delightful sketch by Dan DeCarlo, captures the charm of the moment with its signature style.
