In "The Murder Express," Archie finds himself in a sticky situation after accidentally swapping suits with Mr. Cooper, leading to a series of mishaps at Betty’s house and a mistaken identity that sets off a chain of comedic chaos. Written by Victor Bloom and illustrated by Bob Montana, this 1942 adventure from Pep Comics blends classic Archie charm with a cleverly timed mix-up, all captured in a cover by Irv Novick that perfectly frames the mayhem.
