☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Heavy Metal Game," the gang finds themselves in a sticky situation when a last-minute folk dance rehearsal clashes with a big basketball game—leaving the guys scrambling to play in their traditional costumes. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo Jr.'s energetic art and James DeCarlo’s crisp inks, this lighthearted moment from Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #72 captures the charm and chaos of teenage life. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith perfectly captures the fun, with the team in their dancing gear, ready for a game that’s anything but ordinary.
In "Just Folks," the gang finds themselves in a lighthearted jam when a folk dance rehearsal runs late, leaving the guys scrambling to make it to a basketball game—only to end up playing in their full folk dancing gear. Written by a team known for their playful takes on teen life, the story captures the chaos and charm of a day gone sideways.
In "Freezer Plan," Alex tries to one-up Alan by testing an experimental formula that promises cold immunity—only to find himself stranded outside without a coat when the effects fade. A classic case of overconfidence meeting winter weather, this lighthearted tale delivers laughs with a frosty twist.
