Archie Comics #26
In "The Patch Hop," Archie’s attempt to prepare for a school play takes a wild turn when he borrows a skull from the science room—only to accidentally spark a series of mishaps after wearing it to dodge Mr. Weatherbee. A lighthearted, slapstick romp from 1947, this classic Archie tale captures the chaos of teenage antics with Bill Vigoda’s expressive art bringing the humor to life, while Al Fagaly’s cover perfectly captures the zany spirit of the issue.
