Pep #160
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Point of View," Archie’s attempt to avoid a beating from Moose backfires when his desperate plan to get detention is met with disbelief by Mr. Weatherbee, who suspects Archie’s been imagining things. With Harry Lucey’s expressive art capturing every exaggerated panic, this 1963 classic from Pep #160 finds Archie caught in a spiral of misjudged intentions. The cover by Bob White perfectly frames the chaos, all in a 12-cent comic that’s a must for fans of early Archie humor.
In "The Beast from Space," a curious alien creature drawn to Earth by hydrogen bomb tests descends upon the planet, overwhelming the efforts of the Fly and Fly Girl to contain it. As the creature's strange fascination with nuclear explosions grows, the heroes must think fast to redirect its path—leading to a tense confrontation at the site of a live H-bomb test.
In this 1963 Pep #160 gem, Archie’s latest attempt to avoid Moose’s wrath backfires when he tries to fake a detention—only to have Mr. Weatherbee question his sanity over the sheer volume of his usual misdeeds. Written with classic teen humor and drawn with the era’s signature flair, the story captures Archie’s endless, endearing struggle to outwit both his bully and his principal.
