Cover by Dan DeCarlo & Rudy Lapick. Stories by Frank Doyle and Joe Edwards. Art by Harry Lucey & Chic Stone and Joe Edwards. When Archie is cast as a turn-of-the-century song-and-dance man in the school musical, he keeps his costume, straw hat and cane with him at all times, and his obsessive dancing leads to a lot of people getting hurt in "The Final Curtain"! Plus: Li'l Jinx in the 1-pager "Cutting Remarks" by Joe Edwards; any time Archie tells his parents that he's going to the store, they give him a dozen errands to run while he's on his way in "Mission Impossible (Absolutely)"; going through an intellectually-superior stage, Archie scoffs at his parents for watching detective shows and sitcoms on TV every night, and tries to get them to turn off the TV and try more "worthwhile" forms of entertainment in "Mental Block"; and Archie is convinced that everyone at school hates him when no one will talk in front of him in "The Outcast"! 32 pages, full color. Cover price $0.25.

by Various It's déjà vu all over again for Veronica when she flirts with a lifeguard only to find he's interested in Betty! It's shades of Nick St. Clair, the mysterious stranger who caused so much 'bad boy trouble' for Veronica in last year's epic story. And speaking of Nick, wait until you read the surprise ending of this story! Later, when pretty exchange students from Norway invite Betty and Veronica to their country, Veronica turns the girls down to avoid all the mountain climbing - until she learns they've asked Archie and Jughead to go in their place! Finally, when the gang congregates in the Lodge's entertainment room to play the latest video game, Mr. Lodge enlists Betty to use her smarts - and her knowledge of her friends - to lure them all outside!

by Various For 65 years Archie and his friends from Riverdale High have been delighting audiences of all ages. Now, in tribute to Archie's longevity, this special issue of Archie Digest pays tribute to Archie's illustrious past by reprinting Archie's very first adventures from Pep Comics #22 and Archie Comics #1! From Archie being a hapless showoff when Betty moves into town, to Archie being a tongue-tied, discombobulated wreck when Veronica moves into town, these early stories written by Vic Bloom and others reflect the free-wheeling fun of the popular screwball comedy movies of the day. Not to mention the charmingly exaggerated cartooning styles of Bob Montana and others so popular in the 1940s. As if that weren't enough, the original 'funny animal' supporting features like Squoimy the Woim, Cubby the Bear and Bumbie the Bee-tective, from the legendary Joe Edwards are also included! If you've never seen Archie and his friends as they originally appeared, you're in for a treat with these milestone tales! Cover price $2.49.
