Thanksgiving Feast 2016: "Archie Makes His Mark" by Doyle, Lucey, and Epp

Happy Thanksgiving, Groove-ophiles! Just a "light breakfast" this morning--but a tasty one! Prehistoric Archie and the Gang by Frank Doyle, Harry Lucey, and Marty Epp! "Archie Makes His Mark" is from Archie #188 (November 1968)...

Hey, did this story give any inspiration to the song "One Tin Soldier"? Hmm...?

Groove's Faves: "Summer Fun--and Summer Not" by Doyle, Lucey, and Epp

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! You guys seemed to have really dug our last Archie I post, so Ol' Groove decided to share another fave with ya, this one from Archie #220 (cover-dated August 1972). Again by my Archie dream team of Frank Doyle and Harry Lucey (with inker Marty Epp), "Summer Fun--and Summer Not" has Veronica I "inventing" the summer season, tanning on the beach, and class divisions, while Reggie I tries to profit from it all. It's fun in the prehistoric sun, baby!

Groove's Faves: "The Sporting Life" by Doyle, Lucey, and Stone

Young Groove was always a fan of Archie 1--the prehistoric adventures of Archie and the Gang--and I still dig 'em to this day, especially when they're done by the team of Doyle, Lucey, and Stone. Frank Doyle always spun a fun yarn and the art team of Harry Lucey and Chic Stone turned out the most gorgeous art of the whole Archie line (imho). Just take today's "The Sporting Life" from Archie #223 (cover-dated December 1972) for example. Archie 1 invents batball...yeah, it's silly, but I betcha laff!!
