In "The Flying Barracuda (or, How To Make a Soar-Head Reel Mad)," Mad Doctor Doom’s latest scheme takes flight when he dispatches Chester to steal a hair from Little Archie, using it to power a robotic flying barracuda designed to hijack a gold bullion truck over Givalook Mountain—while also targeting the kid whose DNA matches the stolen strand. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks by Chic Stone, colors by Barry Grossman, and lettering by Bill Yoshida, this 1985 adventure blends classic Archie absurdity with a high-stakes mechanical menace, all capped by a cover by Bolling and Stone.

When Mad Doctor Doom returns with a scheme as wild as it is ridiculous, he sends Chester on a hair-raising mission: steal a single strand from Little Archie’s head. With that tiny sample, the mad scientist unleashes his most absurd invention yet — a robotic flying barracuda programmed to hijack a gold bullion truck over Givalook Mountain… and eliminate the kid whose DNA matches the stolen hair.
