Archie's Double Digest Magazine #107

In "The Kissing Bandit," the Archie gang finds themselves in New York City, where a mysterious street musician with a heart of gold catches their attention—his music warms the streets, and his generosity touches the lives of the homeless. When the group invites him to join them on stage, a chance encounter with a music agent opens the door to a big break, but not before a few unexpected moments leave everyone wondering who this enigmatic performer really is. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Rex W. Lindsey, with vibrant colors by Barry Grossman and crisp lettering by Bill Yoshida, this 1999 Double Digest tale blends charm, music, and a touch of mystery. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Henry Scarpelli captures the story’s playful spirit perfectly.
