☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Common Scents," Archie gets caught in one of Reggie’s latest pranks when the mischievous teen shows off a trick ball that defies gravity—only to swap it with a regular one when Archie asks to borrow it for the girls. With Harry Lucey’s expressive art and Marty Epp’s crisp inks bringing the classic antics to life, this 1970 gem captures the timeless charm of Riverdale’s high school hijinks. Dan DeCarlo’s iconic cover, inked by Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the moment of playful deception.
In "The Bouncer," Archie’s curiosity gets the better of him when Reggie shows off a trick ball that defies gravity—literally bouncing in unexpected directions. But when Archie asks to borrow it to impress the girls, Reggie’s quick hands swap it for a perfectly ordinary ball, leaving Archie to wonder if the real trick was in the switch all along.
