Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #63

Down at the Riverdale Sun drag strip, chaos reigns as two girls — one dark-haired, one blonde — enthusiastically work over a sleek red dragster called Archie's Arrow, while the boys look on in wide-eyed horror, one lamenting via speech bubble that they "should never have let the chicks in our drag club!" Dan DeCarlo's cover art captures the gang's rivalry with pitch-perfect comic timing, from the tug-of-war antics sketched along the top banner to the BP-sponsored pit lane backdrop. This giant-series issue from 1971 pairs that spirited cover energy with an interior story — "The Accounting" — brought to life by writer Dick Malmgren, artist Bob Bolling, inker Rudy Lapick, colorist Barry Grossman, and letterer Bill Yoshida.
