In "Wire Hanger Tricks," Betty’s photos of Archie and Jughead fall flat, prompting Jughead to take her to a camera shop for expert advice—where the real lesson in photography might just be the last thing they expect. A 1954 gem from Archie, this issue captures the classic charm of early teen humor with a side of visual curiosity, typeset with care and lettered by an unknown hand.

Betty tries to snap some photos of Archie and Jughead, but the results fall flat—so Jughead, ever the practical joker with a soft spot for her efforts, drags her to a camera shop to learn the tricks of the trade. With a mix of humor and genuine advice, the pair dive into the quirks of lighting, angles, and timing, all while the camera shop’s expert offers up a few surprises.
