The Strange Case of Patient X

Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Subject Matter
Genres: adventure, humorous, teen
Character(s): "Patient X"; man with the red mustache; Dr. Ben Lacey; Nurse Burke
First Line: The time: 3 a.m. - the place: Riverdale, U.S.A. Cloaked in its mantle of darkness, the city sleeps -
Synopsis: Betty and Veronica become nurse's aides at the hospital, where one of the new patients is a comatose man known only as "Patient X." Betty notices a mysterious man with a red mustache peeking into "Patient X"'s room. When "Patient X" starts to come out of his coma, his only words are "Must protect Carezzo." Archie and the gang take it upon themselves to solve the mystery of who "Patient X" is, what he's trying to protect, and what the man with the red mustache has to do with all this.

Disclose Notes: Previous indexer postulates the script is by Sy Reit from the style and by an in-joke in the story: a hospital P.A. announcer calls for "Dr. Reit" on p. 9. (On p. 7, the announcer calls for "Dr. White," referring to Bob White, the penciller.) Previous indexer credited inks to Bob White.

When reprinted in Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest (Archie, 2011 series) #245, script is credited to Frank Doyle.
