In "Picnic," Little Archie finds himself caught in a chilly caper when Mad Doctor Doom enlists the help of the Ice Mice—frost-breathing rodents capable of freezing anything in their path—to steal the Rare Ruby Rooster from the Humble Home Bank. When Chester’s scheme to upgrade his car with a stolen silver fox tail backfires, it’s Jughead’s bike that ends up in the crosshairs, putting Little Archie right in the middle of the icy chaos. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, this 1964 adventure blends classic Archie charm with a whimsical twist, all captured in Bolling’s distinctive style on the cover.
