Little Archie #152

In "A History Lesson," Little Archie's trip to Ronnie's birthday party takes a wild turn when he's spirited away by Tee-Four-To, a visiting alien from the planet Hexa VI drawn to his red hair. After a quick negotiation involving a red-haired doll meant for Ronnie, Archie receives a mysterious prize that only works when the right word is spoken—though neither the spoiled Tee-Four-To nor Ronnie can make it work. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with coloring by Barry Grossman and lettering by Bolling himself, this 1980 adventure features a whimsical twist on interplanetary curiosity and the power of a single word. The cover, by Dexter Taylor, captures the moment of abduction with playful sci-fi flair.
