Archie's Madhouse #39

Apr 1965 · Archie · 0.12 USD
“The Digger”

In "The Digger," Dr. Zodiac’s latest invention—a micro-electronic brain designed to control objects—takes an unexpected turn when his jukebox, programmed to obey, develops a mind of its own and refuses to stop playing Beatles tunes. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with crisp, energetic art by Joe Edwards, this 1965 classic from Archie's Madhouse #39 captures the era’s pop culture buzz with a delightfully absurd twist. The cover, a vibrant collaboration by Samm Schwartz and Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the zany spirit of the story.
