The Mad House Glads #80

Part of Archie's Giant Series line, The Mad House Glads #80 brings the breezy humor of 1971 to a sun-drenched beach scene where the glamorous Fran poses in her bold hot-pants outfit while Dick snaps photos and a banjo-strumming friend in a patriotic top hat looks on — the cover speech balloons delivering a cheerful punchline about "exposure" that sets the tone perfectly. Cover pencils by Dan DeCarlo and inks by Rudy Lapick give the scene that crisp, lively energy the title was known for. Inside, writer Dick Malmgren and artist Gus Lemoine serve up the story "Among My Souvenirs" — a solid pick for fans of Archie's lighthearted teen-humor anthology comics of the era.
