Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #37

In "The Ringmaster," Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #37 (1998), Alex’s over-the-top confidence in his own detective skills leads to a hilariously absurd situation when he wrongly suspects Principal Tuttle of trying to sneak out of school—so he stages a full-scale escape using a filing cabinet and his considerable resources. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, Rudy Lapick’s inks, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this classic Archie tale is a delightfully silly caper from a time when even the most mundane school day could spiral into something unforgettable—complete with Stan Goldberg’s vibrant cover.
