Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #278

In "The Wild Ones," Archie’s visit to the Lodge Mansion quickly spirals as Mr. Lodge and Smithers try to keep him from breaking anything—only to end up causing chaos themselves. The story captures the classic misadventures of Riverdale’s favorite teen, where even the best intentions go off the rails.

In "The Invaders," a clever young con artist tricks everyone into believing he’s lost his memory after a supposed accident on Mr. Lodge’s property, using the ruse to bring his whole family into the mansion as squatters. With a mix of charm and deception, he turns the estate into a temporary home—much to the dismay of its rightful owner.

In "Love & Learn," Veronica vents to Phil Dynamo about how Archie never pays attention to her, sparking a moment of reflection. When Archie later takes out new student Samantha Sutcliff, he decides to try the changes Veronica suggested—though whether it’s a lesson learned or just another misstep remains to be seen.
