When Wally’s aim falters after developing a crush on Florence—whose face keeps appearing on his targets—Archie hatches a mischievous plan to redirect his focus by making Wally see Archie instead. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Stan Goldberg, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1978 classic captures the humor and heart of Riverdale High with a playful twist on rivalry and romance. The cover by Stan Goldberg perfectly captures the lighthearted tension of the moment.
In "On Target," Archie and Chuck recruit Wally, a surprisingly skilled archer, to save Riverdale's struggling archery team—until Wally’s focus falters when he starts seeing Florence’s face on every target. Determined to help, Archie tries a bold new tactic: replacing Florence’s image with his own, hoping jealousy will sharpen Wally’s aim. The story unfolds with playful tension as the team’s fortunes hang in the balance, and the real test of friendship comes when Wally’s skill is put to the ultimate trial.
When Moose’s confidence gets the better of him after a string of wins, he’s humbled in a tough wrestling match—leaving him ready to run away. But instead of giving up, he finds unexpected help from an unlikely mentor: Archie, who steps in as his new trainer.
