Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #52
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Father Knows Best," Mr. Weatherbee finds himself at the center of a surprising turn of events when he learns a school demonstration is planned—only to discover it's not a protest, but a heartfelt tribute to him. With Al Hartley's expressive art and Bill Yoshida's crisp lettering, this 1969 classic captures a moment of quiet warmth in Riverdale. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the scene's gentle humor and sincerity.
In "The Book Mark," Mr. Lodge’s self-published collection of terrible poetry unexpectedly gains traction when Archie convinces Riverdale students to buy it—leading Lodge to believe he’s found literary fame, though the true outcome remains delightfully uncertain.
