Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #74
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis oversized Giant Series entry from 1972 captures the playful, anything-goes spirit of the Archie universe right on its cover — a teen is gleefully punching a giant inflatable "Bully" punching bag, while a rotund "Principal" dummy stands nearby, part of a carnival-style booth promising customers the chance to "Talk Back to the People Who Bug You!" Girlfriend, Boss, Parent, and Grouchy Neighbor dummies line up alongside, while a speech bubble jokes that Jughead is "making a mint" off the enterprise, with more familiar Riverdale figures milling around in the background. Cover art by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick gives the whole scene that warm, expressive charm that made this era of Archie comics so endlessly fun.
