In "The PH Factor," Archie's own Pureheart the Powerful faces his most bizarre foe yet: The Looker, a dazzling woman whose gaze can turn men to stone—or, if she looks them in the eye, into bubbling hot chicken fat. Written by Frank Doyle and drawn by Bob White, with inks by Marty Epp and letters by Marty Epp, this 1966 adventure pits the hero’s strict code against a villain whose powers defy both logic and common sense. The cover by Bob White captures the absurdity perfectly.
