Archie's Sports Scene #nn [no price]

Jan 1982 · Fleming H. Revell Company · ?
“Empty Cup!”

In "Empty Cup!", Archie takes the plate for his baseball team, only to be stuck on the bench by Jughead’s sticky gum—literally. With Moose’s oversized pants offering a less-than-helpful rescue, chaos unfolds in the most unexpectedly sticky way. Written and drawn entirely by Al Hartley, this 1982 slice of sports mischief showcases his signature humor and expressive art, with a cover by Hartley that captures the moment perfectly.
