“Abra Catastrophe”

In "Abra Catastrophe," Archie’s stubborn refusal to support the new teen sensation "The Kool Kids" lands him in a sticky situation—when he needs quick cash, he’s forced to impersonate one of them in disguise. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Dan Parent, with inks by Henry Scarpelli and colors by Barry Grossman, this 1991 tale finds Archie navigating the chaos of fame and identity, all while keeping his cover—literally—under wraps. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli captures the high-stakes fun with a splash of classic Archie flair.
