Archie's Story & Game Digest Magazine #12
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Playing the Game," Archie faces his toughest challenge yet—not on the mound, but in proving to himself that he can still rise to the occasion. After recovering from a wrist injury, he struggles with confidence as the baseball season begins, but when a bridge gives way beneath the team bus, leaving it teetering over the Ramadam River, Archie’s quick thinking and arm may be the only thing that saves his teammates and Mr. Weatherbee. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks by Chic Stone, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1989 issue features a cover by Dan DeCarlo and Jim DeCarlo.
When Archie struggles to regain his confidence on the mound despite a healed wrist, a sudden disaster tests his nerve: a collapsing bridge leaves the team bus teetering over the Ramadam River, and only Archie’s arm can pull his teammates and Mr. Weatherbee to safety.
In "Rich Hitch," two of Mr. Lodge’s overly serious business partners mistake the kids’ Monopoly game for a real corporate negotiation, convinced they’re eavesdropping on a crucial deal. The misunderstanding spirals as they take the game’s pretend money and rules far too literally, leading to increasingly absurd attempts to outmaneuver each other—right in the middle of Riverdale’s playground.
When Cindy Saunders struggles to join the boys' baseball team due to self-doubt, Sabrina taps into another dimension and calls upon the High Priestess of Animal Protectors to lend Cindy the confidence of the animal kingdom.
