Archie and the History of Electronics

In 1990, Archie Comics teamed up with Radio Shack for a single, promotional issue that uses the familiar cast of Riverdale to explain the basics of electronics. Written by Mike Pellowski with art by Howard Bender, this one-shot blends educational content with the classic Archie humor, making it a curious artifact of corporate tie-in publishing. It matters as a snapshot of how comics were used to teach technology in the late 20th century.
