In "Go With the Floe," Little Archie returns to Crackstone Manor—this time not to escape Mad Doctor Doom, but to recover his lost camera. But with the Doctor gone, he stumbles upon Professor Pither From Planet Pluto using the mansion to power tiny tornadoes that steal people's jewelry. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks by Mike Esposito, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1988 adventure blends classic Archie charm with a delightfully absurd sci-fi twist. The cover, penciled by Bolling and inked by Esposito, captures the zany energy of the tale.
