Sep 1987 · Archie · 0.75 USD
“Surf Saga”

In "Surf Saga," Archie’s attempt to impress the girls with a borrowed surfboard hits a wave of awkwardness when his lack of skill becomes painfully obvious. A chance encounter with a local Hawaiian leads Archie on a surprising detour to the best waves—though whether he’ll ride them or just watch remains to be seen. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo Jr.’s crisp art and Jim DeCarlo’s dynamic inks, this 1987 classic captures the summer spirit with a touch of seaside humor. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly captures the laid-back vibe of the issue.
