Archie Comics Digest #244
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Feeling Fuelish," a young alien named Odiko crash-lands near Riverdale and stumbles into the midst of the Good Ol' Gang, whose curiosity turns to awe when they discover his superhuman speed. Though most of the gang grows suspicious after noticing he has no reflection, Chuck stands by him, and Little Archie ultimately makes amends by racing Odiko to the Hockomock Swamp and offering him a gumball as a token of friendship. Written, drawn, and inked by Bob Bolling, with coloring by Barry Grossman and lettering by Bolling himself, this 2008 Archie Comics Digest tale blends sci-fi whimsy with heartfelt moments, all framed by Stan Goldberg’s cover pencils and Jon D'Agostino’s inks.
In "The Team Mate," a stranded alien boy named Odiko stumbles into Riverdale, where the Good Ol' Gang is quick to notice his superhuman speed. Though some are wary when they discover he has no reflection, Chuck stands by him, and even Little Archie, after a race to the Hockomock Swamp, offers a gumball as a gesture of friendship.
When Archie agrees to pick up a scientist’s orangoutang—meant to be proof of the missing link—things quickly go off the rails. The smart primate escapes, leading to a chaotic chase that turns the tables on who’s really the evolutionary odd one out.
