Archie's Joke Book Magazine #69

Archie's Joke Book Magazine #69 delivers exactly the kind of cheerful absurdity that made this series a staple of 1963 newsstand racks. The cover by Bob White says it all: Archie blazes through a classroom window strapped to an army surplus rocket belt, outstretched arm pointing the way, while Betty, Jughead, and Veronica watch from their desks below and the startled teacher looks on — all with the caption "Archie hasn't been late once since he got his army surplus rocket belt!" Inside, Bill Vigoda brings the laughs with the story "Ever Ready," promising a full issue of the gag-packed fun that kept Riverdale fans coming back for more.
