When Mr. Lodge’s friends push to shut the kitchen down, Archie and Veronica step in to show just how much good is being done—one meal, one smile, at a time. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Stan Goldberg’s expressive art, Mike Esposito’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this 1987 issue captures the spirit of kindness with warmth and charm, all under Dan DeCarlo’s iconic cover.
In "A Helping Hand," Archie and his friends roll up their sleeves to help out at Eddy's Soup Kitchen, where Jo and the others are making a real difference. When Mr. Lodge’s friends push to shut it down, Archie and Veronica team up to show him the impact of the work being done—before the whole town gets involved.
When Archie accidentally crashes a faulty ATV through Bumley's Department Store, he's terrified of losing his job—especially after saving Mrs. Bumley from a dangerous fall. The chaos unfolds in just six pages, blending classic Riverdale humor with a high-stakes moment that puts Archie’s quick thinking to the test.
