“Introductory Page”

In Archie Comics #8 (1944), a classic mix of teenage mischief and miscommunication kicks off with "Introductory Page," a lighthearted tale written by Ed Goggin and illustrated by Harry Sahle, with inks by Janice Valleau. On a fateful Friday the 13th, Archie’s day takes a turn when he’s punched by Reggie, leading to a chain of misunderstandings that lands him in the hospital—thanks to a mix-up involving a toothache and a mistaken bed. The cover, also by Harry Sahle, captures the chaos with his signature style.
