Archie Comics Digest #117

Archie shows up at summer camp not as a counselor—Mr. Weatherbee passed him over—but with a cooler full of ice cream, determined to make his mark in Riverdale one scoop at a time. With a grin and a cone, he turns the camp's routine upside down, proving that even when plans go sideways, chaos can still be sweet.

On his wedding day, Marshal Jo vows to hang up his guns and retire from duty—just as news arrives that the notorious Nasty McNasty and the Rowdy Boys are returning to town. Now he must protect his new life and the town he’s sworn to defend, all without relying on his badge or his guns.

When Cousin Ambrose gets ticketed for jaywalking, Sabrina and her aunts—armed with nothing but years of courtroom TV binges—decide they’re ready to defend him in court, launching a wildly unorthodox legal showdown.

In "The Mall (Part I)," the opening of a massive new shopping complex in Centerville sends shockwaves through the local economy—especially for Mr. Lodge, who’s scrambling to protect his stake in the Riverdale Mall. With his usual schemes and grumbling, he tries to outmaneuver the competition, but the new mall’s charm and convenience might be harder to beat than he expected.

When the Archies' disco gig goes up in flames, they rally with old pals Claude and Raul for an impromptu show in the Riverdale mall parking lot—turning a busted night into a surprise crowd-pleaser that just might change Mr. Lodge’s mind about how to reach the next generation.
