Archie Giant Series Magazine #160
"Waltz Faults" is a standout entry in the Archie Giant Series Magazine, featuring a delightfully absurd twist on a classic high school sports story. When a lab accident leaves Archie temporarily radioactive, his newfound magnetic pull turns a basketball into an extension of his hand—just in time for the big game. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with energetic art by Harry Lucey, with inks and letters by Terry Szenics, this 1969 gem blends sci-fi silliness with the familiar charm of Riverdale’s most famous teen.
