Archie's Double Digest Magazine #136
In "Shore Things," Archie, Mr. Weatherbee, and Spotty hit Bongo Beach for a late-night fishing trip, unaware that Mr. Lodge is nearby with Veronica and a high-stakes client. When Dilton arrives with a wild new rocket-powered fishing lure, things take a surprising turn—sending Archie soaring into the sky and straight onto the Lodge family boat. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks by Chic Stone, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this whimsical adventure blends small-town charm with a splash of outlandish fun. The cover, by Jeff Shultz and Henry Scarpelli, captures the moment the rocket takes flight.
