- Synopsis
- The nostalgia craze of the early '70s transports Archie and the gang back in time to "Nostalgia Land," where they live out the lives of typical teenagers at the turn of the century.

Indexer Notes
One of many examples of Al Hartley working religious themes into a mainstream Archie comic, with the characters arguing that life was better when people had "unity" and religious values were stronger. Story in four parts (5 pp, 6 pp., 4 pp., 5 pp.).
