“War Is Swell”

In "War Is Swell," Mr. Lodge challenges Archie and his friends to prove they're not soft by taking on a spirited game of touch football—just like President Kennedy does on the White House lawn. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s dynamic art and Rudy Lapick’s crisp inks, this 1962 classic captures the kids’ spirited effort with charm and energy. The cover by Bob White perfectly captures the playful intensity of the moment.
