Damn, I wish I was your lett'rer!
Incidental mixed case lettering used to be a lot more common, especially with hand-lettering. Tom Orzechowski used it frequently in Uncanny X-Men, both for whispers and vocalized pauses (oh, uh, um, etc.). Archie was a pretty artistically conservative publisher until fairly recently. It was the last publisher to move to digital lettering, and the same old-school look is still used across their publishing line. If the book's letterer (the great Deron Bennet) didn't do that stuff on his own, the Archie editors likely requested it.
