Undercover Archie

PEP COMICS #25 - on newsstands January 1942

I love these Bob Montana splash pages. To me it was some of his best art of this early period and this piece is one of my favorites, with Archie's Jalopy (it's first appearance) bouncing along the street. It may not seem very suggestive at first, but the strategic placement of that 'Keep 'em Flying' sticker is interesting... (Incidentally, it was a wartime slogan)

That jalopy would cause Archie many a problem over the next number of years....
