Archie's Double Digest Magazine #182

Archie's Double Digest #182 sets up a beachside mystery with a cover by Fernando Ruiz that immediately raises the hairs on the back of your neck — a looming shadowy figure lurks at the edge of the frame while Archie (in his cycling gear) nervously gulps, "I wish it was, Arch!" in response to a blonde companion's remark that the old seaside town is deserted. Three teens with their bicycles, a sun-bleached coastal backdrop, and that ominous dark silhouette make for a perfectly playful yet spooky setup worthy of the interior story, "Ghost of the Coast." Packed with reprints and new material, this 2007 digest is a fun grab for fans of Riverdale's gang venturing beyond their usual stomping grounds.
