“Paradox in a Box”

In "Paradox in a Box," writer Victor Gorelick delivers a quirky, mystery-laced tale that blends the classic Archie Comics charm with a touch of the uncanny, all set against the backdrop of a promotional campaign for the Archie's Weird Mysteries and Sabrina animated series. With vibrant colors by Barry Grossman and a retro-inspired cover by Dan DeCarlo and Henry Scarpelli, this 2000 issue offers a fun, self-aware nod to the franchise’s expanding universe — all while keeping readers guessing.
