“Soft Soap Artist”

In "Soft Soap Artist," Little Archie finds himself stumped on a school report about Riverdale’s history—until the spirit of the town’s founder, Joshua Carson, pays him a visit. Written by Bob Bolling and brought to life by Dexter Taylor’s expressive art, this 1976 classic blends whimsy and hometown lore in a tale that’s as charming as it is unexpected. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo with inks by Rudy Lapick, captures the story’s playful spirit in bold, nostalgic style.
