Paper: White

Happy Comics Edition.

Label #4314760007

Happy Comics Exclusive Cover by Dan Parent - limited to 250 copies. Written by Magdalene Visaggio. Art by Butch Mapa. Danni Malloy is Jinx Holliday's best friend, and where one goes, the other is sure to follow… even if that means through hell and back and forth through the depths of space and time. When Danni receives a mysterious message from former friend Dilton Doiley, Danni is horrified to learn that he's built a time machine and it's gone terribly wrong-and now the three of them have been transported to warped version of Riverdale, where nothing seems quite right. It's up to Danni to set things right and bring them back to the present day, and the hometown they know and love… and she might have to explain a thing or two to Jinx about what's going on, too! Strange Science explores Danni's personal history, time travel, and the importance of being to be true to yourself and what matters most to you. 32 pages, full color. Rated T+
