Archie's Madhouse #1
In "If Teen-Agers Ran the Government!", Archie and his gang imagine a world turned upside down—where the diplomatic limousine is a convertible, the Army wears bell-bottoms, and the Constitution gets a tune-up. Written by Sy Reit and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature energy, this playful satire reimagines everything from Cabinet posts to school subjects through a teenage lens. The cover by Harry Lucey captures the zany spirit of the premise, all in a 10-cent comic from 1959.
