☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Giving Up the Ghost," Archie's first year at Riverdale High brings more than just new classes—it’s a whirlwind of clashes with Principal Weatherbee, a tough new bully named Jared McGerk, and an unexpected rivalry brewing with Superintendent Haverhill. Written by Batton Lash and brought to life by Bill Galvan’s art, with inks by Bob Smith, colors by Glenn Whitmore, and letters by Jack Morelli, this Double Digest tale captures the chaos and heart of high school life. The cover, also by Bill Galvan, sets the tone with a classic, nostalgic flair.
In "Giving Up the Ghost," Veronica and Reggie transform a wing of the Lodge Mansion into a haunted house for charity, but their plans take a spooky turn when Mr. Lodge insists on outdoing them—claiming to be the ghost of his own great-uncle Jacob Lodge.
In the mystical realm of Transfertrania, a servant’s life takes a strange turn when a gypsy’s wolf cub bites him—now, every night, he transforms into a werewolf… though his only craving is for the town’s food supply.
Archie’s freshman year at Riverdale High is already a whirlwind—juggling new friendships, a run-in with Principal Weatherbee, and a growing clash with the school’s resident bullies led by Jared McGerk. As tensions rise and unexpected alliances form, even the superintendent, Haverhill, seems to be eyeing Weatherbee with suspicion.
Archie takes on a puzzling challenge from Mr. Tinker, leading him to investigate the mysterious house on Oak Street. When a sudden jammed door traps him inside, he’s left to unravel the riddle’s secrets in the dark—alone and wide awake.
