Archie Comics Digest #265
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Splash Down!", Archie’s latest beach-day experiment takes a wild turn when he brings a big magnet to the shore, only to find that every metal item around—keys, soda cans, even Jughead’s prized sandwich—starts flying toward it. As Archie and Jughead bicker over who “they” really are, the entire beach descends into a chaotic, clanging spectacle. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey with inks by Chic Stone, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this playful, high-energy tale captures the classic charm of Riverdale’s misadventures. The cover, by Jeff Shultz and Rich Koslowski, perfectly captures the moment of metallic mayhem.
In "Dr. Syklops," Professor Klops’ latest invention—meant to boost health with a vitamin ray—accidentally shrinks teens Joe and Janet to tiny size. Now navigating a world turned enormous, the duo discovers unexpected perks... and plenty of peril.
In "Space Hunter," Earth Space Zoo director Godfrey is on a mission to find a new exhibit, traveling across the galaxy with mixed results—until he lands on the mysterious Planet X-305. There, among a menagerie of exotic creatures, he discovers something far more unexpected than any animal: himself, suddenly the rarest specimen of all.
Archie’s latest beach-day experiment goes hilariously awry when he brings a giant magnet to the shore, turning a casual afternoon into a chaotic tug-of-war as everyone’s metal items—keys, belt buckles, even Jughead’s pocket change—start flying toward it. As Archie and Jughead debate the meaning of “they say,” the whole gang finds themselves caught in a whirlwind of clattering metal and confused laughter.
