Life with Archie #61
In "The Flamethrower Returns," the mischievous arsonist from C.R.U.S.H. is back—this time armed with flame-throwing fireflies and a plan to torch P.O.P. and Mr. Lodge's plant. With the help of P.O.P.'s science lab, A.R.C.H.I.E. steps in to outwit the fiery threat, turning the fireflies against C.R.U.S.H. itself. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Bob White, with inks by Jon D'Agostino and cover art by the same team, this 1967 classic blends madcap sci-fi antics with Archie's signature humor.
