In "A Very Lodge Problem," Archie Andrews is hailed as "America's most lovable teen-ager" by TV host Hink Brinkley, much to Mr. Lodge’s chagrin. While recalling why he finds Archie less than charming, Lodge reveals a surprisingly personal solution to the Cold War fears of the era: an underground "Archie shelter." Written by Sy Reit and illustrated by Bob White, this 1963 classic features cover art by Bob White, blending humor and Cold War-era anxieties in a uniquely Archie way.
