Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #298
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Stand-Up Guy!", Jughead reluctantly agrees to take the fall for Archie’s missed date with Veronica—only to find out that Archie’s promise to return the favor might be harder to keep than he thought. Written by Craig Boldman and brought to life with classic flair by artists Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith, this lighthearted tale of friendship and misjudged deals comes wrapped in a cover by Jeff Shultz.
When Archie forgets a date with Veronica, Jughead volunteers to take the fall—only to find himself caught in a deal that quickly backfires. What starts as a simple swap of blame quickly turns into a lesson in why some promises are better left unmade.
In "Antique Weighted," Veronica sends Archie and Jughead to the mansion to retrieve the Himmeldorfer—though neither of them has the slightest clue what it actually is. With no map, no instructions, and only a vague name to go on, the duo dives into a mystery that’s equal parts treasure hunt and awkward misadventure.
In "An Ice Swim," Little Archie finds himself caught off guard when Reggie pulls a classic prank—stealing his clothes while he’s skinny dipping—then lures the girls to the lake for a picnic, leaving Little Archie in quite the sticky situation. The story captures the timeless chaos of teenage mischief with a splash of summer fun and a dash of innocent embarrassment.
