Archie's Double Digest Magazine #109
In "Radio Inactive," Archie and the gang launch a charity book drive, only to face resistance from the grumpy Titus Titewhad—whose sudden heart attack sends them scrambling to the hospital. His unexpected gratitude leads to a surprising donation, but the real surprise might be what's hidden in the rare first edition he gives. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic flair by Stan Goldberg on art and inks, with Barry Grossman’s colors and Bill Yoshida’s letters, this 1999 Double Digest tale blends small-town charm with a touch of whimsy. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Henry Scarpelli captures the moment’s tension with signature style.
