“Doctor Dread!”

In "Doctor Dread!", Archie’s forgotten date with Veronica takes a surprisingly frosty turn when her icy glare literally freezes him solid—leaving Betty as the only one who can thaw him with a kiss. A classic Archie mix of teenage drama and cartoonish chaos, this story features Stan Goldberg’s vibrant art and Bob Smith’s crisp inks, with Dan Parent’s playful cover capturing the moment of frozen tension.
