Archie as Capt. Pureheart #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Quest of Dr. Detest," Archie's Captain Pureheart faces his most insidious foe yet when the villain attempts to turn his friends into hateful, bigoted agents—only to find they’re hilariously bad at the whole hating thing. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with vibrant energy by artist Bill Vigoda, this 1967 classic features bold colors by Victor Gorelick and sharp lettering by Mario Acquaviva, all wrapped in a dynamic cover by Bill Vigoda and Jon D'Agostino.
In "The Quest of Dr. Detest," the ever-foolish Dr. Detest unleashes a scheme to turn Captain Pureheart’s friends into hate-filled extremists—though their lack of genuine malice makes the whole plan hilariously ineffective. Written with zany flair and drawn in the classic Archie style, this 1967 tale delivers a sharp, lighthearted skewering of villainy through the lens of teenage innocence and absurdity.
