Archie Giant Series Magazine #13

Oct 1961 · Archie · 0.25 USD
“Readers Choice”

In "Readers Choice," Jughead stumbles into a comic book-sized storm when he borrows a book from Veronica's private library—unaware it's "Playing the Game," the very guide that taught her her most cunning tricks with boys. Betty and Veronica scramble to reclaim it before Archie catches wind, turning a quiet afternoon into a whirlwind of panic and mistaken intentions. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm—pencils and inks by DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, lettered by Vincent DeCarlo—this 1961 gem captures the timeless chaos of small-town crushes and secret strategies.
