Life with Archie #246
In "Thanks Is in Giving!", a bizarre arcade game built at Mr. Lodge's company takes a terrifying turn when it disintegrates anyone who kicks the console—only to transform them into pixelated avatars inside the game itself. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with vibrant energy by Stan Goldberg’s pencils and Rudy Lapick’s inks, this 1985 classic blends Archie’s signature humor with a surprisingly surreal twist. The cover by Stan Goldberg captures the game’s eerie allure, making it a standout in the series.
