Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #13

This oversized Summer 1960 entry in the Archie Giant Series delivers the kind of breezy, small-town humor the title does so well. The cover — with art by Harry Lucey — finds Veronica behind the wheel of a bright red vintage car at a gas station, charming the uniformed attendant who asks what kind of oil she uses, while a jealous Archie and a startled Jughead react in the back seat to the punchline: "He usually starts out by telling them how beautiful they are!" At 25 cents, this giant-sized issue packs in plenty of laughs, including the story "Water Foul," making it a delightful snapshot of Riverdale life in the summer of 1960.
