“The Dragon Slayer”

In "The Dragon Slayer," a nervous freshman, smitten with Veronica, vows to win her heart through noble deeds—only to take Reggie’s teasing about medieval knights all too literally. With a mix of comedy and escalating tension, the boy’s misguided quest leads him down a path far more dangerous than anyone expected, all while Archie remains blissfully unaware of the legend he’s unwittingly become part of. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style and Rudy Lapick’s dynamic inks, this 1964 classic features a cover by Bob White.
