Archie Comics #67
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeArchie Comics #67 (March 1954) is a standard mid-run issue of Archie's flagship solo title — a long-running anthology of humor shorts featuring Archie Andrews and Jughead Jones at the tail end of comics' Golden Age. Its chief historical interest is contextual: it arrived on newsstands at virtually the same moment the Comics Magazine Association of America was forming the Comics Code Authority in 1954, a seismic industry event that Archie publisher John L. Goldwater helped engineer, and whose content standards Archie Comics would maintain longer than nearly any other major publisher. The series itself sits just before the mid-1950s period when artist Dan DeCarlo began his tenure at Archie and modernized the characters into their definitive visual form. No first appearances, landmark story developments, or special notes have been documented for this specific issue in any publicly available source.
In "Cluckey Buck!", Archie lends Jughead his last 55 cents to enter a newspaper contest hunting a hidden $200-winning serial number. When Jughead thinks he’s struck gold, the whole Chok'lit Shop rallies behind him—only to learn the number he’s chasing is from last week’s paper. Art by George Frese captures the classic charm of this 1954 Archie adventure.
In "Cluckey Buck!", Archie lends Jughead his last 55 cents to enter a newspaper contest hunting a $200 prize tied to a specific serial number. When Jughead thinks he's won, the whole Chok'lit Shop gets swept up in the excitement—only to learn too late he was looking at last week’s number.
In "Food for Thought," Archie finds himself caught between Miss Grundy’s strict study mandate and the siren call of lunch—until a prank from Mr. Weatherbee turns Archie’s desk into a surprise showdown with a new skeleton, leaving the teacher flustered and Archie with a moment of quiet rebellion.
In "Lift and Let Lift!" from Archie Comics #67 (1954), Betty puts Archie’s loyalty to the test by setting a date for the night Veronica returns after three weeks away. When Archie stops to help three girls with a flat tire, a smudge of lipstick on his cheek sparks a flurry of jealousy from both Betty and Veronica—leaving him caught in the middle of a classic teenage tangle.

The Archie Comics title launched with a cover date of Winter 1942, spun off from Archie's breakout popularity in Pep Comics, and was titled 'Archie Comics' through issue #113 before being shortened to simply 'Archie' starting with issue #114.
