In "The Terrible Tornado Machine," Mad Doctor Doom unleashes a storm of chaos by building a device to control tornadoes, targeting Riverdale's new Dibbledock Towers and turning the town into a playground of wind and fear. With the police dismissing Little Archie's warnings, it's up to the ever-resourceful kid and his unlikely allies—Chester's stash of "Icky Slicky" hair oil and the gold bars Doom has collected—to stop the mad scientist’s scheme. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, this 1966 adventure blends classic Archie charm with a surprisingly inventive twist, all captured in a cover by Bob Bolling.

When Little Archie’s newly talkative parakeet escapes into the school, chaos follows—especially when the bird accidentally delivers an unscripted (and embarrassingly honest) critique of Mr. Weatherbee’s strict policies. With the principal caught off guard and the whole school buzzing, the feathered troublemaker might just be the unlikely catalyst for a surprising change in school rules.
