Archie Comics Digest #73

In "Bird Calls," Archie’s latest prank backfires in the most delightfully chaotic way when his attempt to sabotage Dilton’s alarm clock sends the whole trio—Archie, Dilton, and Jughead—into a late-for-class spiral. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo Jr.’s expressive art, Jim DeCarlo’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this 1985 Archie Comics Digest tale captures the timeless humor of teenage mischief. The cover, penciled and inked by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the moment of impending chaos.
