Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #72

In "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.
