Little Archie #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Trick By Trial," Little Archie takes a page from a fast-talking salesman’s book, launching the "West Side big bargain store" with his friends—only to find out selling isn’t as easy as it looks. When the girls counter with their own scheme, turning the boys into eager customers for a hornet exterminating service, the rivalry heats up in a playful battle of wits and persuasion. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, this 1957 gem captures the charm and humor of early Archie comics, with Bolling handling every aspect of the interior art and lettering, and his distinctive style brought to life on the cover by his own pencils and inks.
In "Sales Switch," Little Archie gets inspired after watching a slick salesman convince his dad to buy useless gadgets, leading him to launch the "West Side Big Bargain Store" with the boys. But when the girls counter by turning their own charm into a high-pressure pitch for hornet extermination, the whole school gets caught in a whirlwind of playful persuasion.
In "Cab Caper," Little Archie launches his very own taxi service—riding around in his trusty soapbox derby car—only to find himself in a whirlwind of competition when Betty and Veronica start their own rival ride-share with a flashy new vehicle. Jughead joins in with a dog-powered wagon, and even Ambrose gets in on the action, trading his usual antics for a traffic cop's badge. It’s a wild, wacky race for passengers in Riverdale’s most chaotic cab war yet.
In "Reggie's Soda Pop," Reggie's dad keeps regaling the boys with tales of his boxing glory and insisting that "boxing pays off." When the gang decides to turn those stories into a real profit, they come up with a clever scheme—using Reggie’s dad’s old tales to sell soda pops with boxing-themed labels.
