Archie & Friends
Chuck Clayton; Charles Clayton (flashback); Archie Andrews; Betty Cooper; Veronica Lodge; Fred Greenman; Delbert the Dealer; Professor Jacko; Harry Charley; Hiram Lodge; Jose Santos; Linda Lane; Jim Brench; Vicki Brench; Fernando Ruiz; Dan Parent
Chuck Clayton finds out that his grandmother has a copy of the oldest known comic, a comic created by his ancestor Charles Clayton during the Revolutionary War. It is first displayed at a local con, then at Chicago Con and finally at San Diego Con. Wherever it is displayed, someone has been trying to steal it, until the thief is caught at San Diego.

George Gladir is credited with Script and Bill Golliher with Pencils in the original printing of this story.

Names of the real-world characters are changed in this reprint.

Charles Clayton is Chuck's ancestor who was a cartoonist during the American Revolution.

There are many in-joke references to parts of comic fandom. For instance, the Wendell Comics characters of Wendell, Brenda and Cobina, which are spoofs of Archie, Betty and Veronica. Archie is continually being mistaken as Wendell by comic fans, and Betty and Veronica enter the three of them in the costume contest at San Diego as the Wendell Comics characters.
