Archie... Archie Andrews, Where Are You? Comics Digest Magazine #5
In "Spring Fervor," Archie Andrews finds himself caught between a wave of teenage rebellion and his own punctuality when he stumbles upon a group of classmates skipping school after a rough morning at home. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey with inks by Marty Epp, the story follows Archie as he plays the part of a runaway to steer his friends back to class—only to realize too late that his own tardiness might cost him. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo, captures the lighthearted chaos of the moment.
