Everything's Archie #86
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Switch Hitch," the Archies hit a creative wall and decide it's time for a fresh look—literally. When Mr. Weatherbee hosts a garage sale, the gang stumbles upon a treasure trove of 1930s vintage clothes and oddities, sparking a bold new direction. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with classic flair by artists Harry Lucey and Chic Stone, with colors by Barry Grossman and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1980 issue captures the band’s playful reinvention. The cover by Stan Goldberg perfectly frames their transformation.
Archie finds himself torn between attending a rock concert with Veronica and the growing distance he's created with Betty, especially after his friends Reggie and Jughead gently point out how he's been neglecting her lately. With two tickets in hand and a heart full of conflicting feelings, he’s left wondering who to choose—and whether he’s been treating anyone fairly.
When the Archies hit a creative slump, they stumble on a fresh new look at Mr. Weatherbee’s garage sale—turning to vintage 1930s clothes and oddities to reinvent their image. Jo and the gang dive into the past, digging through dusty treasures that might just be the spark they need.
Jo and Betty are buzzing over Archie landing a role in the school play, but he’s all nonchalant—until the curtain rises and he’s frozen onstage, panic setting in.
