“Archie the Caveman”

In "Archie the Caveman," a prank gone wrong sends Mr. Andrews scrambling through Riverdale to recover his hidden love letters—after Archie’s April Fool’s jest accidentally unleashes a decades-old secret. Written by Ed Goggin and brought to life with energetic art by Harry Sahle, this 1944 classic blends humor and heart in a tale where a single box from the attic sets off a chain of mishaps. The cover, also by Sahle, captures the chaos with a playful, period-perfect flair.
