Archie #447

In "Auto Graph," Archie finds himself caught between two worlds when he casually mentions meeting the president of the Midvale and Atlantic Railroad at the station—only for Mr. Lodge to hear every word. With his usual mix of ambition and scheming, Lodge sees a chance to turn a casual conversation into a big business move. Written by Hal Smith and brought to life with vibrant energy by Stan Goldberg, Henry Scarpelli, Barry Grossman, and Bill Yoshida, this 1996 issue captures the classic charm of Riverdale with a side of entrepreneurial flair. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli perfectly captures the moment’s tension and humor.
