Your Pal Archie #1
In "The Road Worrier," Archie puts aside his usual teenage worries to dive into the world of opera—inspired by Veronica’s plans to attend with someone else—only to have his ambitions upended when he thinks he’s hit the jackpot with a fifteen-million-dollar lottery win. Written by Ty Templeton and illustrated by Dan Parent, this heartfelt and humorous story captures Archie’s typical mix of over-the-top dreams and sudden panic, all rendered in Parent’s signature style with vibrant colors by Andre Szymanowicz and crisp lettering by Jack Morelli. The cover, also by Dan Parent, perfectly captures Archie’s wide-eyed, overwhelmed expression as he grapples with his newfound fortune.
