Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #93

This April 1975 issue delivers a wonderfully absurd gym-class moment: Archie is soaring impossibly high above the basketball hoop, ball in hand, thanks to a mysterious "elastic chemical" someone has secretly applied to his sneakers. On the sidelines, a mischievous figure holding a beaker gleefully wonders if the concoction is working — while Betty, Veronica, and their teammates can only stare up in disbelief at the airborne redhead. Harry Lucey's lively artwork captures the Riverdale gang at their slapstick best, making Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #93 a cheerful slice of mid-'70s fun.
