I was walking through Brooklyn Heights to visit some friends when I saw a building wide street sale on Henry Street last weekend. Never to leave well alone, I decided to nose around and see what my wealthy neighbors were getting rid of. Some fellow was selling a small lot of Archie titles. They were a bunch from the mid-70s to the late 80s. Among the ten that I picked up for 50 cents a piece were a small run of horror-themed "Life with Archie." Wow! Who knew that Archie dipped his toes in the (under)world of the occult! Or did he? Well, that's what this cover seemed to infer. Judge one for yourself:
Well, turns out that the "Devil's Disc" was actually a weaponized frisbee made out of steel used by a foreign agent whose mission was to steal a secret formula from some scientist who had a house on the beach and Archie and Veronica stumbled onto the crime and...anyway, no real demon...but what an eye-catching cover!
