Life with Archie #258
In "A Helping Hand," Archie and his friends roll up their sleeves for a day of volunteering at Eddy's Soup Kitchen, turning a simple act of service into a heartfelt community effort. When Mr. Lodge’s friends push to shut the kitchen down, Archie and Veronica step in to show just how much good is being done—one meal, one smile, at a time. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Stan Goldberg’s expressive art, Mike Esposito’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this 1987 issue captures the spirit of kindness with warmth and charm, all under Dan DeCarlo’s iconic cover.
