Undercover Archie

ARCHIE COMICS #60

(On Newsstands in November 1952)

Not a bad double entendre cover... There's no signature, but I'm assuming it's Bill Vigoda, because of Archie's big beaver teeth and the female that looks like a cheap blow up doll. Not a criticism, it's just how I recognize some of his art...

Here was an angle we hadn't seen before... Reggie gets a monkey!

With the loss of George Frese, the primary workload for Archie again went back to Bill Vigoda...Samm Schwartz was doing stories in Suzy and Jughead; Harry Lucey would take over Ginger, John Edwards was on WIlbur, and newcomer named Dan DeCarlo was getting started on Betty and Veronica...

But as much change as was going on.... some things stay the same!
