Archie at Riverdale High #41
In "Panic in the Park," Riverdale faces a storm of controversy when Clean City Carl rallies the town against Mr. Lodge's factory, accusing it of poisoning the river. Archie and Jughead, ever the skeptics, start to wonder if the real trouble might not be the plant—but the man stirring up fear. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with vibrant energy by Stan Goldberg, Jon D'Agostino, Barry Grossman, and Bill Yoshida, this 1976 issue captures the town’s tension in bold colors and sharp humor. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the chaos.
