Archie's Double Digest Magazine #139
In "Bee Line," Archie takes a bold (and slightly ridiculous) step to impress Tina, the punk girl at school, by donning a mohawk wig to match her taste in style. When Reggie responds with a real mohawk to one-up him, the moment becomes a classic Archie-style comedy of misdirected confidence—just as Tina’s sudden move leaves the whole thing hanging in midair. Written by Nate Butler and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo Jr., with inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, the issue captures the charm and chaos of teenage crushes and fashion fads. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith perfectly encapsulates the zany energy of the story.
