Archie's Double Digest Quarterly Magazine #9

In "Dark Eyes," Laurie tries to hide a black eye with makeup, but when Wilbur gives her another one at the dance, the truth starts to slip through—especially when Tiny vows to protect her, only to misinterpret the situation once the mascara fades. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—penciled and inked by DeCarlo himself, with lettering by Vincent DeCarlo—this 1984 Double Digest tale captures a moment of teenage tension and misunderstanding with a touch of humor and heart. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the scene’s quiet drama.
