Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #315
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "That Elf is Shelved!", Archie finds himself wrongly accused when Mr. Lodge’s guest artist ruins a series of paintings—each deliberately obscured with paint in a bold, unexpected gesture. With the truth hidden behind a splash of color, Archie must clear his name before the misunderstanding sinks any further. Written by Craig Boldman and illustrated by Stan Goldberg, with inks by Smith and letters by Morelli, this playful tale features a cover by Jeff Shultz.
When a famed artist visits Riverdale to display his latest work, chaos unfolds as he deliberately ruins each painting with bold splashes of color—claiming it’s part of his artistic process. Mr. Lodge, horrified by the "damage," immediately blames Archie, setting off a series of mischievous misunderstandings.
When Veronica and Reggie trick Betty into believing a boy is an alien named "Nazda from the Planet Cylvania" by hiding a flashlight under his shirt, things take a surprising turn—because the boy is actually Archie’s cousin, and he’s not about to let the prank go unreturned. With Archie in on the plan, the two cousins team up to pull off a clever reversal that turns the tables on the pranksters.
In "Fleet Foot," Veronica bets Archie and Reggie a "big surprise" in a race, but Jughead and Betty have other plans—leading to a surprisingly slow start for Archie. With the stakes high and the track full of distractions, it's anyone's guess who'll actually cross the finish line first.
In "Wheels of Fortune," Archie and Jughead take on a high-speed chase when Veronica’s car is stolen, only to be captured and forced to drive it down the infamous Suicide Hill. With nerves on edge and the stakes higher than ever, Archie’s unshakable confidence in his own driving proves to be the only thing standing between them and disaster.
