Archie's Love Scene #[nn]

In "Take Me To Your Ladder!", Hot Dog dreams of swapping lives with Jughead, trading his usual routine for a taste of the good life—complete with a visit to the One Way Coffee Shop and a deeper look at faith and God. Written and drawn entirely by Al Hartley, this 1973 issue captures a whimsical, heartfelt moment in the Archie universe, with Hartley handling every aspect of the art and lettering. The cover, also by Hartley, perfectly frames the story’s lighthearted yet reflective tone.
