Archie’s Girls Betty and Veronica #58, October 1960, “Happy Hallucination”
Our final Dan DeCarlo entry this week is a story filled with irony, pathos and self-sacrifice… and infused with trademark humor.
Wait — that sounds like I’m in English literature class again. And even 40 years later, I’m pretty sure I’m not ready for that.
So let’s simplify: Here’s a complete DeCarlo story that’s an absolute classic. Don’t take my word for it: The full story here is included below — in original art form, and published version too.
As Rod Serling would have would have intoned in his own hallucinogenic tales on Twilight Zone at at about the same time, this complete tale is officially “submitted for your approval.”
Happy 80th, Archie. You occasionally look very different, but definitely not much older.
