Archie & Friends Double Digest Magazine #13

In "Postage Due," a mysterious thief strikes the post office, impersonating a mailman and using a strange perfume to sabotage Mr. Lodge and his business rivals. When Archie dons the guise of Captain Pureheart, his well-meaning but chaotic efforts lead him on a wild chase to uncover the culprit behind the scheme.

When Archie agrees to babysit Dilton’s pet mouse, he doesn’t expect a late-night scare—especially after a night at the horror movie theater. But when the tiny mouse slips out and vanishes into the dark, Archie’s quiet evening turns into a jumpy, suspense-filled chase through his own house.

In "The Apple Knockers," Archie and his friends learn a lesson about respect when they tease Jo for bringing an apple to school for her teacher—only to be reminded by Miss Grundy that such small gestures can mean a lot. The story gently explores how kindness and thoughtfulness aren’t always obvious, even when they’re right in front of you.
