Little Archie #174

Little Archie blasts off into outer space in this 1982 installment, with the cover by Dexter Taylor showing a wide-eyed Little Archie at the controls of a spacecraft, frantically warned by Reggie to reverse the engines as they hurtle toward a planet on a collision course. A pink spaceship streaks across the star-filled background while a ringed planet and swirling planetary atmosphere loom large, making the cosmic peril feel wonderfully immediate. Promising "a fantastic new outer space adventure" called "The Time Machine," this issue delivers the kind of imaginative, all-ages fun that makes Little Archie such a treat.
