Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #82
In "Power Failure," Betty and Veronica check out Archie's and Dilton's science project entries, only to be shrunk by snail-like aliens in a flying saucer who whisk them off to a flea market. With the help of a paper airplane Archie built earlier, the quartet must evade Svenson's cat Loki while the aliens are distracted. Written by Bob Bolling and illustrated by Bob Bolling with inks by Chic Stone, this whimsical adventure sees the teens narrowly escape before being returned to normal size. The cover, by Stan Goldberg and Jon D'Agostino, captures the surreal scale shift with playful flair.
