Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #293
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Vicious Cycle!," Archie and Reggie face off in a classroom showdown that’s less about friendship and more about survival—both struggling in calculus, they’re pushed to desperate measures when Archie loses his car and Reggie’s parents threaten to cut off college funding. Desperate to keep up, Reggie teams up with a local hacker to secure the answers to the next big test, and offers them to Archie in a move that could either save them both—or spiral everything out of control. Written by Angelo DeCesare and illustrated by Stan Goldberg, with inks by Bob Smith, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Jack Morelli, this Double Digest tale captures the high school stakes with a mix of humor and tension, all wrapped in a cover by Bill Galvan.
In "A Calculated Risk," Archie and Reggie face shared pressure when their failing calculus grades land them in trouble—Archie loses his car, and Reggie’s parents warn him about college prospects. Desperate, Reggie turns to a local hacker for help, offering the test answers to Archie in a risky move that could change everything.
In "A Knight to Remember," Archie finds himself at a Renaissance fair, where his fellow troubadours drag him into the more "manly" pursuits of jousting and swordplay—much to his comedic detriment. Despite his lack of skill in the arena, he quickly realizes his true appeal lies in his singing, as the girls still gather around him in full force.
