☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Scavengers," Fred’s diet takes a surprising turn when he can’t resist three freshly-baked pies left out in the woods—only to find himself tangled in a pie theft mystery. Ambrose steps in to solve the case, uncovering a clue that points straight to Fred, leaving Little Archie shaken by the possibility that his own father might be behind the theft. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, this 1959 classic from Little Archie Giant Comics #11 features a delightfully mischievous twist on friendship and temptation, with Bolling’s distinctive art bringing the whole pie-filled escapade to life. The cover, also by Bob Bolling, captures the moment of guilty discovery with playful flair.
In "The Scavengers," Little Archie’s prank backfires when his scare tactics during a girls-versus-boys scavenger hunt lead the boys to stash their stolen loot—complete with dogs and cats—in his house. Things get worse when Mr. Andrews returns early, and the girls’ revenge isn’t far behind. With a surprise reward on the line, the hunt takes a new turn.
In "Ludwig La Stanza, The Music Moppet," Ludwig’s ambitious plan to conduct the Good Ol' Gang’s orchestra for Parent-Teacher Night hits a sour note—until he has a wild idea: bring in two chickens and a pig to join the band. With a mix of chaos and charm, Ludwig tries to harmonize the whole ensemble, including the unlikely musicians, in a musical experiment that’s as unpredictable as it is unforgettable.
In "Campaign Capers," Little Archie and Reggie turn their rivalry into a full-blown election for "Boss of the West Side" after Fred suggests settling disputes with democracy instead of fists. With the vote deadlocked, the outcome hinges on one last ballot—Ambrose, who hasn’t cast his vote yet.
Jo and Ambrose team up to solve a movie mystery, hoping to win a dollar from Mr. Andrews by guessing the killer—just in time to buy the latest issue of Little Archie Giant Comics. With Jo’s sharp instincts and Ambrose’s knack for overthinking, the duo dives into clues from the film, one step ahead of the theater crowd.
In "Evelyn Evernever," the kids organize a pet show with a circus ticket as the prize, but Evelyn, eager to see the circus's "lovely ladies," faces a problem—she has no pet. Desperate, she tries to lure a cat using a fish skeleton, leading to a hilariously awkward attempt to win the prize.
Jo and the gang try to launch a health-club empire using Ambrose’s money—only to boot him out when he’s no longer useful. Ambrose, undeterred, teams up with his cousin to open a cake and cookie shop, drawing in every kid who’d rather snack than sweat.
In "The Great Mince Pie Mystery," Fred’s diet takes a nosedive when he stumbles upon three freshly baked pies in the woods—leading him to indulge in two before hiding the last one. Ambrose, tasked with delivering the pies to the gang’s upcoming auction, sets out to solve the sweet theft, following clues that eventually point straight to Fred. Meanwhile, Little Archie grapples with the shock of suspecting his own father, while Fred scrambles to make amends, muttering his new mantra: "You just can't win."
When Little Archie and the Good Ol' Gang build a rocket from a barrel and a slingshot, they’re stuck—no one’s willing to take the leap to the moon. Ambrose, desperate to join the gang, volunteers on one condition: he’ll go if they promise he’ll return alive.
