Archie Comics Digest #167

When Chuck's new comic strip, *Wonder Dude*, hits the news, Dilton sparks a town-wide craze by turning the hero into a real-life sensation. With help from the gang, Jo and the others don disguises and take on heroic roles—until a mysterious supervillain emerges, turning the fun into something far more serious.

In "Toil Turmoil," Mr. Weatherbee is buried in paperwork, laboring over a report that his secretary, Miss Grundy, dutifully files. But when she goes to retrieve it, all she finds is a paper airplane—Archie’s latest prank—fluttering on his desk.

In "New Jersey Hi-Jinx!", the remote control car race heats up across the Garden State as the Kyosho Corporation’s big event draws crowds and attention—enough to spark jealousy in the mysterious "Beach Blanket Babette," who’s determined to hijack the spotlight with her own copycat race. With twists, turns, and a whole lot of high-speed chaos, the competition takes a wild detour through New Jersey’s backroads and roadside attractions.

In "Ark Antics," after hearing the tale of Noah’s Ark, Little Archie transforms the old rowboat on Carson’s Creek into his own makeshift ark, charging jellybeans for entry. When Ambrose, left out with no beans and forbidden from boarding, devises a plan to stop the flood by "pulling the plug" on the creek, chaos—and a splash—loom on the horizon.

When Little Veronica gets her own movie camera, Little Archie is determined to help her capture something truly exciting—first a boxing match, then a parade, and finally, a quiet moment that might just be the perfect shot: secretly filming Archie’s dad going about his usual day.

Archie and his dad strike gold selling off old garage finds, but their success quickly leads to a new obsession: filling the garage with today’s junk, convinced it’ll be tomorrow’s treasure.
