Josie and the Pussycats #52

Dec 1970 · Archie · 0.15 USD
“Contact”

In "Contact," Josie and Alex find themselves literally stuck together after Melody accidentally spills a batch of super-sticky glue on them—much to their mutual dismay and Melody’s amused disbelief. When she tosses the bottle away, chaos follows as Alan M.’s motorcycle ends up glued to the same spot, setting off a chain of sticky predicaments. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm—penciled by DeCarlo and inked by Rudy Lapick—this 1970 issue captures the classic Archie Comics mix of humor and high jinks, with Barry Grossman’s colors and Bill Yoshida’s lettering adding to the lively, nostalgic feel.

Melody says that Josie and Alex are "stuck on" each other, and she means it literally: she spilled some incredibly adhesive glue on them. Then Melody throws the bottle of glue away, and Alan M.'s motorcycle gets stuck on it.
