Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #11

Poor Archie is having a rough day — this Winter 1959 issue of the Archie Giant Series shows our freckle-faced hero on the verge of tears, telephone in hand, as a trio of rejection bubbles surrounds him: Betty turning him down with "I'm afraid not, Archie!", Veronica offering an apologetic "I'm sorry, Archie!", and two others brushing him off with "Sorry, pal!" and "Get lost!" The cover perfectly captures the lovable social chaos that made Archie's world so endearing, with that signature mix of heartbreak and gentle humor. Written by Frank Doyle with art by Samm Schwartz, this oversized issue promises a full helping of Riverdale fun.
