Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #292

In "Book Worm," Archie and the gang launch a charity book drive, only to face resistance from Titus Titewhad, the town’s grumpy recluse. When his outburst leads to a surprising health scare, the teens rush to help—only to find his gratitude takes a very unexpected turn.

In "The Literary Lion," Archie puts his charm to work—literally—by convincing local restaurants to feed him for free in exchange for glowing reviews in his self-published guide, *Dates and Where to Have Them*. With a notebook in hand and a grin on his face, he sets out to turn every meal into a story, one clever pitch at a time.

Archie and Reggie both want to play the lead in the school play, so Ms. Hammly puts them to the test: they’ll spend a day pretending to be each other to see who’s truly ready for the role.

Archie’s new digital camera isn’t helping him snap anything worth a click—until he spots Betty and Veronica at Pop Tate’s, sparking a fresh round of photo ops and playful rivalry.

When the Archies pitch their band to a music promoter, he dismisses their sound as old-fashioned—only to book them as a nostalgic "retro" act for one night, turning their outdated style into an unexpected hit.

Archie heads to San Francisco to track down Mr. Lodge, who’s vanished to chase a new life on the West Coast. With a suitcase full of Riverdale-style chaos and a mission to reunite the eccentric tycoon with his old routine, Archie dives into the foggy streets of Frisco—where even the seagulls seem to know more than he does.
