Archie Comics Digest #246
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Pool Player," Archie's new above-ground pool sets off a neighborhood frenzy as the whole gang descends on his house, turning a simple backyard upgrade into a chaotic splash zone. Meanwhile, Veronica offers a quieter alternative—her family’s pool—where Archie, Jughead, and her dad can finally relax in peace. Written by Jim Ruth and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo Jr. with inks by Jim DeCarlo, and featuring a cover by Stan Goldberg and Jon D'Agostino, this 2008 digest issue captures the classic charm of Riverdale’s summer antics.
In "Trouble in Paradise," Mr. Lodge’s army of robots has turned Riverdale into a lair of effortless idleness, leaving the townsfolk too relaxed to lift a finger. When Jughead, ever the master of minimal effort, builds his own line of lazy robots to fight back, the town’s balance of work and naptime hangs in the balance.
When news spreads that Archie has a new swimming pool, the whole gang floods his backyard—only to find it’s just a small above-ground model. Meanwhile, Veronica offers a more spacious retreat, luring Archie, Jughead, and her dad to her much larger pool for some quiet swimming.
When the summer skies open up and the rain starts to fall, Archie and the gang find their usual river floats, beach trips, and pool days suddenly drenched in disappointment—what’s a group of teens to do when the weather ruins their plans?
