Archie Comics #17
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Memories," a tender 1945 tale from Archie Comics #17, Mr. and Mrs. Andrews look back on Archie’s early years through a series of heartfelt flashbacks, captured in warm, expressive art by Bill Vigoda. From Baby Archie’s first photo shoot to his mischievous tooth-pulling stunt and a wobbly walk along the backyard clothesline, the story paints a nostalgic portrait of childhood with quiet charm. The cover, by Al Fagaly, perfectly frames the moment with a nostalgic, hand-drawn warmth.
In "Memories," Mr. and Mrs. Andrews share a nostalgic moment flipping through old photos of Archie’s childhood, recalling playful moments from his early years—like the time Baby Archie posed for a picture, or when he used string to pull out a tooth, and even the time he walked the clothesline in the backyard. The story captures sweet, silly snapshots of growing up in Riverdale, all through the lens of fond family memories.
Archie finds himself caught in a mix-up when Velma Sparks arranges a dance date for him with her sister—only to back out when he sees her and thinks she’s unattractive. But the twist? The girl he turned down wasn’t actually Velma’s sister at all.
