“Oil on Troubled Waters”

In "Oil on Troubled Waters," Archie is handed a rare chance when Mr. Lodge reveals a secretive business deal brought by a visiting oil man—but the more Archie digs, the more he notices everyone in Riverdale seems to know something he doesn’t. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with vibrant energy by Stan Goldberg, Jon D'Agostino, Barry Grossman, and Bill Yoshida, this 1973 issue captures small-town intrigue with a twist. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Jon D'Agostino perfectly captures the mystery simmering beneath Riverdale’s usual charm.
