Life with Archie #106
In "One Comic Picture is Worth a Thousand Words!", Archie takes a creative stand against littering at Riverdale High by crafting a comic pamphlet starring the Archies to spread the message—proving that even a 15-cent comic in 1971 can pack a powerful punch. With art by Harry Lucey, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this clever story shows how a little imagination can turn a schoolyard problem into a lesson in visual storytelling. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick captures the fun and flair of the moment.

The students at Riverdale high keep littering, ignoring the signs Mr. Weatherbee has put up. Archie decides to create a comic pamphlet starring the Archies, arguing that a comic book will get the message across better than a sign. The comic works so well that Mr. Weatherbee realizes that "you could use comic booklets for getting almost any message across to people."
