Everything's Archie #1
In "Visit To a Small Panic," the real Archies step off the screen and into the chaotic world of Filmation, where their cartoon personas are about to be upended by the wild energy of their live counterparts. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with vibrant art by Harry Lucey, this 1969 classic captures the moment the animated legends meet the flesh-and-blood originals—complete with Marty Epp’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the frenzy of the moment, a 25-cent peek behind the cartoon curtain.
