Archie Comics Digest #126
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Wrong Impression," two aliens arrive on Earth with a plan to conquer the planet—only one of them takes the form of Reggie Mantle, leading to a series of chaotic misunderstandings. Written by Hal Smith and brought to life with Stan Goldberg’s vibrant art, Rudy Lapick’s inks, and Barry Grossman and Nanci Dakesian’s colors, this 1994 Archie Comics Digest tale turns a classic high school prank into an intergalactic fiasco. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Alison Flood captures the absurdity perfectly.
In "The Wrong Impression," two aliens arrive on Earth with a plan to conquer it—only one takes the form of Reggie Mantle, and his new identity quickly becomes a source of endless teasing and mistaken identity. As the townsfolk treat the alien impostor like the real Reggie, the invasion begins to seem less like a threat and more like a comedy of errors.
In "Winner Takes All," Veronica hands Archie and Reggie a chance to win a rock concert date by proving themselves during a high-stakes hockey game—only one of them will walk away with the prize. With playful rivalry and classic teen energy, the game becomes a test of skill, charm, and who can impress Veronica most.
When Moose misinterprets the word "doldrums" in a way that sends the school into chaos, Mr. Weatherbee and Miss Grundy step in with a dictionary—only to realize they might have just traded one kind of confusion for another.
