Archie Milestones Jumbo Comics Digest #9

Archie, Betty, and Kevin are summer camp counselors when a canoe trip to a lake island leads to a mix-up: Archie and Kevin must paddle back to retrieve Jennifer’s lost stuffed animal, leaving the group in a lighthearted tangle of camp mishaps and sticky situations.

In "Camp Camp," Mr. Weatherbee sees summer camp as his escape from Archie’s chaos—until Archie shows up as a counselor. Despite Mr. Weatherbee’s every effort to stay out of trouble, Archie’s well-meaning antics keep turning the camp into a whirlwind of mishaps.

Archie’s summer plans go sideways when Mr. Weatherbee passes him over for camp counselor duties—so he shows up anyway, armed with a cooler full of ice cream and his usual brand of chaotic charm. With a sweet twist on the usual schoolyard antics, Archie turns a no into a full-blown snack-time showdown.

In "Lonely Lobo," Archie finds himself stranded in the wild after a plane crash during a school project on wolves, leaving him face-to-face with Kanyook, a lone and hungry wolf once exiled from his pack. With Mr. Lodge gone for help and the forest teeming with danger, Archie must navigate the wilderness and an unlikely, tense connection with the wild creature he never expected to bond with.

Archie’s prank in a gorilla suit takes a wild turn when he’s spotted by a traffic officer, sending him sprinting through town—still in costume—while Betty, as a jungle girl, gives chase. The unexpected chaos draws attention away from two bank robbers making their escape, turning a silly moment into something far more consequential.

When Pop Tate casually mentions handing over the Riverdale Diner to Jughead upon retirement, the teen’s excitement quickly turns to suspicion—after a series of increasingly bizarre mishaps, Pop starts to wonder if Jughead and Archie are secretly trying to speed up his exit.
