In "The Drummer Boy," Jughead’s relentless drumming pushes Riverdale High’s faculty to their limits, culminating in a chaotic, last-resort solution: an impromptu "Archies" concert to channel his rhythm. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with energetic art by Samm Schwartz—pencils, inks, and letters all by the same hand, with colors by Carlos Antunes—this 1970 issue captures the classic charm of Riverdale’s misfits. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the musical mayhem.
