Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #320
In "Mow Mantle, Mow Problems!", Archie puts a high-tech spin on a backyard gadget when Dilton Doiley repurposes a broken camera into a portable fan—complete with a battery case that doubles as a surprise weapon. When a thug tries to steal the fan, thinking it's a camera, Archie's quick thinking and the clever design save the day, much to Reggie's surprise. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo Jr. with inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this fun, fast-paced story shines with the classic charm of the Archie universe. The cover, by Bill Golliher, Bill Galvan, and Ben Galvan, captures the moment with playful energy.
