Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #54
In "Friendly Game," Archie finds himself stranded in Europe after accidentally boarding Mr. Lodge’s private plane—only to be trapped in the baggage compartment. With no way home, he takes on a string of odd jobs across the continent, each time appearing in a new disguise. Meanwhile, Mr. Lodge grows increasingly unsettled, convinced he’s seeing Archie everywhere he goes, always in a different outfit and working a new gig. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with a cover by Dan DeCarlo, this 1995 Double Digest tale delivers a lighthearted, globe-trotting twist on the classic Archie dynamic.
