Frank Doyle (writer)

Frank Doyle (November 17, 1917 – April 3, 1996) was the head writer for Archie Comics for over thirty years.

[3] Doyle, one of several Archie contributors who studied art at the Pratt Institute, was originally a penciller for Fiction House comics, working on such titles as Planet Stories.

Though he no longer drew stories himself, he continued to write in storyboard form, using a desk that used to belong to Fiction House artist Fran Hopper.

[9] Starting in the late '80s, Doyle became less prolific, but continued to write Archie stories every month until his death.

His last story, "Cry Me a River," appeared in Betty and Veronica #104 (October 1996) after his death, with art by DeCarlo.
