Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #240

In "Welcome Wagon Master," Archie steps in to help a new kid settle in, turning a simple act of kindness into a moment that catches the eye of the teen sister—Jo—whose attention has been elusive, even from Reggie. As the small-town charm of Riverdale takes center stage, Archie finds himself unexpectedly in the spotlight, all while navigating the quiet chaos of teenage connections.

In "My Son the Teenager," Seymour’s proud poppa shares the chaotic, laugh-out-loud antics of his klutzy, girl-crazy teenaged son in a series of wry, often rhyming captions that capture the everyday chaos of teenage life. Written with a playful rhythm and heart, the story offers a lighthearted, relatable glimpse into the trials and triumphs of parenting a high schooler—no spoilers, just pure, wholesome humor.

Archie’s summer plans take a wild turn when a last-minute internship offer from the Riverdale Bugle forces him to trade the beach for a bad assignment—only to end up judging a surprise beauty pageant right there on the sand. With his usual charm and comic timing, he navigates the chaos of the day, caught between duty and distraction.

In "Bosom Buddies?", Veronica insists her dad play nice with Archie at her pool party—easy enough, until Archie accidentally sets the grill on fire and crashes Mr. Lodge’s sports car into the pool. Just when things can’t get worse, burglars crash the bash and take Archie and Mr. Lodge hostage, turning a messy afternoon into a full-blown crisis.

Archie tries to break free from his long-standing love triangle by chasing a new kind of attention at the beach—only to find that swapping Betty and Veronica for four new girls might be more than he bargained for. With a whirlwind of charm and chaos, he quickly learns that some things, no matter how much they change, still stay the same.

In "It's Not Easy," Reggie puts in extra effort to win Mr. Lodge’s approval, hoping it’ll give him an edge with Veronica—though she’s always clear about making her own choices. The story captures the familiar tension of teenage ambition and unrequited feelings, all wrapped in the classic Archie charm.

Sabrina: The Magic Within #2 kicks off a summer full of spells and surprises when Sabrina lands an internship with the Magic Council just as Harvey heads off to visit relatives.
