Undercover Archie

  ARCHIE COMICS #73 - Play As You Go!

(ARCHIE COMICS #73 - cover-dated March/April 1955, on newsstands January 12th, 1955, with cover art unknown, but my guess is Bill Vigoda)

The perfect Archie story (that doesn’t involve Betty & Veronica) - Reggie brags, Archie and Jughead plan against him, Reggie overhears and tries to sabotage them, Archie and Jughead screw up and get sabotaged, and…. Well here’s the whole story. It’s ONE of my favorites of this issue and a CLASSIC. I can’t believe it’s never been reprinted!

As far as I know, this has only been reprinted in the U.K. (Archie #1 - 1955 in Black & White)

Archie should know better than to take advice from Reggie…

…because Veronica is always going to win in the end!

Here's a two page story that makes me laugh out loud! Why has THIS never been reprinted? Another CLASSIC!

Sure it's out of context - sort of - but still not something you'd probably read in today's Archie Comics!

EYES, Archie! 

(Not exactly being Undercover here, are they?)

Sometimes that Archie...

In 1955 a comment like this in Archie Comics

was perfectly acceptable!

Betty in a Bikini always sounds like a good idea, 

but... in the middle of winter??
