Life with Archie #181
In "The Salesman," Archie and the gang stumble upon a mysterious moaning in an old house, only to discover a frightened boy hiding from his oppressive uncle, John-Boy—a man whose business tactics are as ruthless as his family name suggests. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with expressive energy by Stan Goldberg, this 1977 tale blends classic Archie charm with a touch of unexpected drama, all rendered in vivid colors by Barry Grossman and lettered by Bill Yoshida, with Rudy Lapick’s cover adding a classic, nostalgic flair.
