Life with Archie #55
In "Play Deadly," the P.O.P. team faces off against the sinister Toymaker and his army of destructive playthings, but when the Toymaker's gadgets prove too much, a surprising ally steps in—Leroy, V.E.R.O.N.I.C.A.'s cousin, whose uncanny ability to dismantle any toy on sight gives the good guys a crucial edge. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Bill Vigoda, this 1966 adventure blends classic Archie charm with a touch of spy-fi flair, all captured on a cover by Bob White and Jon D'Agostino.
