Archie... Archie Andrews, Where Are You? Comics Digest Magazine #20
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Nostalgia Gets Ya!", Archie and the gang are whisked into "Nostalgia Land," a whimsical time-travel twist where they experience life as teens at the turn of the century. Written and drawn by Al Hartley, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, the story explores what modern teens might learn from the past—without ever revealing how they return. The cover by Dan DeCarlo captures the playful retro spirit of the tale, a 95-cent comic from 1981 that blends humor and heart.
In "Nostalgia Gets Ya!", Archie and the gang find themselves swept back to the turn of the century, where they experience life as teens in a bygone era—complete with cleaner air, purer values, and a simpler way of living. As they navigate this nostalgic past, they begin to wonder if today’s world might rediscover that same spirit if only people would "look up."
In "Basket Ball," Archie tries his hand at selling tiny baskets—only to find himself swarmed by a crowd of eager girls. When a cop interrupts, the girls quickly rally around him, claiming the baskets are just sweet tokens for their friendship. But when Veronica catches wind of the attention, Archie’s panic sets in, and he’s left begging for jail as his only escape.
In "Very En-Lightning," Veronica finds herself unnerved by a thunderstorm, but Mr. Lodge steps in with a calm explanation about lightning—only to inadvertently make her less likely to seek comfort from Archie, leaving her to face the storm on her own.
In "The Money Game!", Archie’s latest scheme promises quick cash, drawing in his friends with dreams of easy riches—until a slick stockbroker turns the game into a risky gamble. With Archie’s usual charm and a dash of caution, the kids must figure out how to stay ahead of a con that’s more than just a prank.
When the Archies enlist Dilton as their manager, things seem to be going smoothly—until Moose misreads the venue address, leading the band to accidentally perform for a group of senior citizens instead of their intended audience. The resulting chaos turns a simple gig into a memorable (and slightly disastrous) public spectacle.
In "A Go-Go Tail," Betty’s new waist-length hip hugger hairstyle turns heads—so much so that Veronica, ever the rival, can’t resist matching her with a set of flashy hair extensions of her own. The two girls’ playful competition takes a stylish turn as they navigate the highs and lows of teenage fashion and friendship.
Archie Andrews, ever the reluctant athlete, finds himself on the sidelines—this time not as a player, but as the school paper’s sports reporter. When the Coach hears the news, he’s genuinely pleased that Archie won’t be joining the basketball team, turning a familiar high school moment into a quiet victory for the boy who’d rather write than run.
Archie's stuck in a rut, counting down the days until Friday like it’s the only thing keeping him sane—only to find that Friday’s arrival brings its own kind of misery when he’s dragged to a party with Veronica’s pretentious friends.
