Archie Annual Digest #52
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Special Rate," Sabrina tempers Salem’s magic with a strict one-trick limit, but when the dogcatcher starts rounding up neighborhood pets, the familiar finds a way to stretch the rules—using his single trick to help the animals escape. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Stan Goldberg’s vibrant art, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this 1988 annual offers a lighthearted, clever twist on magic and mischief. The cover by Dan DeCarlo captures the chaos with his signature flair.
In "Cool Ridicule," the girls take a page from the boys' book—literally—turning Archie and Reggie's old-school "chivalry" into a playful game of reverse etiquette, leaving the boys to navigate the unexpected consequences of their own habits. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this 1988 humor short from Archie Annual Digest #52 captures the classic teen dynamic with a clever twist.
When Sabrina puts a leash on Salem’s magic—limiting him to just one trick—his mischievous streak finds a new outlet: helping a pack of neighborhood pets escape the dogcatcher’s clutches. With a flick of his tail and a spark of spellwork, Salem’s single trick sets off a chain of chaos that’s equal parts clever and utterly unpredictable.
