Archie Comics Digest #242
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Career Fear," Archie and the Riverdale High crew face a surprising new challenge when Gene "Scooter" Jackson, a pint-sized phenom with lightning-fast reflexes, joins the struggling baseball team and instantly becomes their star shortstop. When Northfield High's Mean Mike Mapes tries to eliminate the threat by deliberately spiking Scooter, the injury raises serious questions about the cost of athletic ambition. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with vibrant energy by Stan Goldberg (art), Jon D'Agostino (inks), Barry Grossman (color), and Bill Yoshida (letters), with a dynamic cover by Goldberg and Bob Smith, this 2008 digest issue captures the heart and humor of Riverdale's high school drama.
Jo worries about what she’ll do after high school and decides to shadow her older sister at her office job, only to find the reality of spreadsheets and meetings is far less glamorous than she imagined. The gang’s experiment in career exploration leads to laughs, confusion, and a few surprising revelations about what they might—or might not—want to do with their lives.
When new student Gene "Scooter" Jackson joins Riverdale High, his lightning-fast reflexes turn the struggling baseball team around overnight. But when Northfield High's Mean Mike Mapes tries to take him out with a dangerous spike, Scooter's speed—and his future on the team—hangs in the balance.
