Archie's Double Digest Magazine #165
In "Memory Lame," Dilton Doiley takes a shocking turn—once the brainy genius of Riverdale, he’s now a slumped, sullen shadow of himself, snapping at friends and ignoring his usual brilliance.

With art by Stan Goldberg and inks by Jon D'Agostino, this 2005 Double Digest tale delivers a clever, character-driven twist on a classic Archie dynamic—perfect for fans of the series’ more unusual stories.
