Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #67

In "It Beats a Pizza," Dilton grapples with a surprising revelation about his family when he learns his father is actually his step-father. Heartbroken and unsure, he sets off to run away, only to find unexpected wisdom at the bus station from Chuck. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Gus Lemoine, inks by Jon D'Agostino, and vibrant colors by Barry Grossman, this 1971 issue captures a quiet moment of growth with the warmth and humor that define the Archie universe. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the story’s mix of youthful anxiety and familiar charm.
