“Evilheart's Revenge!”

In "Evilheart's Revenge!", Reggie stumbles upon a shocking truth: just as Archie can summon his inner goodness to become Pureheart the Powerful, Reggie realizes his own darker side can fuel a sinister transformation—into the very villain he's always mocked. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life by Bill Vigoda’s art with inks by Mario Acquaviva, this 1966 classic sees Reggie’s mischief take a dangerously literal turn. The cover by Bob White and Mario Acquaviva captures the moment with a dramatic flair, hinting at the chaos to come.
