Archie's Double Digest Magazine #30
In "Back to Nature," Archie takes Mr. Lodge to Lodge Lake to help him relax, but when their car breaks down, the situation takes a turn when Mr. Lodge insists on hiking home through the woods rather than staying with Archie. Written by Rich Margopoulos and illustrated by Chic Stone, with inks by Rudy Lapick and vibrant colors by Barry Grossman, Nanci Dakesian, and Ginny Sykora, this 1987 tale captures a quiet, character-driven moment in Riverdale. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly frames the story’s lighthearted yet unexpectedly introspective tone.
