Archie's Double Digest Magazine #65
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Voice Your Choice," Archie finds himself the center of attention after faking a hand injury—only to accidentally broadcast the truth over the school intercom, revealing he’s been faking it for two days just to enjoy the extra care. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Stan Goldberg, with colors by Barry Grossman and letters by Bill Yoshida, this lighthearted slice of life captures Archie’s classic mix of charm and clumsy misjudgment. The cover, penciled by Goldberg and inked by Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the moment’s awkward humor.
In "Pain Killer," Archie takes on a simple errand—delivering a handwritten note from Coach Kleats to Mr. Weatherbee—only to notice something’s off when he sees the coach struggling to write. The story quietly builds around a small, awkward moment that hints at more beneath the surface, all in the familiar, lighthearted world of Riverdale teens.
Jughead’s heart has found its match—not in a person, but in a box: Betty Cracker, the smiling face on a cake mix. In a moment of whimsical devotion, he tells Archie that his love for her is deeper, more sincere than any romance with a real girl could ever be.
Archie’s sudden injury gives him the perfect excuse to skip chores and bask in the attention of his friends—especially when Jughead offers to do his homework and Betty brings him snacks. But when he accidentally broadcasts his recovery on the school intercom, his carefully crafted role as the helpless patient starts to unravel.
