Pep #175
November 1964 · Archie Comic Publications · 36 pages
Condition: Fine (6.0)
Classic mid-’60s Archie goodness, right in that sweet spot where the art is clean, the jokes are sharp, and the stories are pure Riverdale comfort food. The hypnotism-themed Samm Schwartz cover is a standout—so much so that it was later redrawn and reused for Betty and Veronica #71.
Inside, you get a solid lineup:
“Heels Together” by Frank Doyle, with art by Bill Vigoda and Vince DeCarlo—Archie vs. Reggie, with Jughead stirring the pot as usual.
A short Archie’s Dad gag strip with Bob White art.
A strong Josie story by Frank Doyle and Dan DeCarlo, featuring Pepper and Melody scheming romance into existence.
Li’l Jinx by Joe Edwards, plus another classic Archie beach mishap involving Fred Andrews.
A well-rounded issue with multiple core Archie features, solid creators, and a memorable cover concept. A nice representative Bronze-to-late-Silver Age Archie book—great for readers, DeCarlo-era fans, or anyone building out a Pep run.
