Everything's Archie #143

In "Shlock Rock," the Archie gang’s baseball team leans hard into their superstitious routines—knocking on wood, avoiding black cats, and chanting lucky phrases—while teasing Betty and Veronica for their belief in astrology. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Jeff Shultz, with inks by Rudy Lapick and colors by Barry Grossman, this 1989 classic captures the playful tension between old-school rituals and the zodiac’s quiet influence, all wrapped in Dan DeCarlo’s iconic cover art.
