☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Arch Enemy," Josie and the Pussycats #80 (1974), Alex’s romantic pursuit takes a cunning turn when he pretends to have amnesia, claiming only Melody can help him remember the mysterious "J." Written by George Gladir and brought to life with vibrant energy by artist Stan Goldberg, inks by Rudy Lapick, and crisp lettering by Bill Yoshida, this issue unfolds with playful deception and rising tension. The cover by Stan Goldberg captures the moment perfectly, hinting at secrets and shifting loyalties.
In "Flower Power," Melody worries that Alexandra feels left out of the Pussycats' friendship, so she tries to impress a guy by showing off her green thumb—only to learn he’s more interested in someone else’s floral touch.
In "Memory Mess," Alex tries a bold new tactic to win Josie’s heart by pretending to have amnesia, claiming only "J" can help him remember. With Melody on board, he stages a playful quest that puts their friendship to the test—though whether it’s all an act or something more remains to be seen.
