Tales from Riverdale Digest #30

Archie drags Jughead, Betty, and Veronica into "Bo and Gus's Paranormal Investigation Camp," promising a group discount — and a van borrowed from Jughead’s uncle makes the trip even more chaotic. As they settle in, the eerie stillness of the camp is broken when a shadow darts past Betty, sending Jughead and Hot Dog scrambling into panic.

In a twist that turns Riverdale’s usual antics into something eerily familiar, Betty and Jughead stumble upon a warning from an old hermit about the Leaf Monster—just as Archie and Veronica are caught off guard by a shadowy figure at the window. As the sheriff arrives with cryptic tales of strange creatures since the school opened, the gang finds themselves speaking in odd new catchphrases like "Jinkies!" and "Zoinks!"—even Hot Dog starts muttering "RUH-ROH!" in alarm.

In "A Familiar Old Haunt (Chapter III)," Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and Hot Dog find themselves at a mysterious camp where the usual antics take a spooky turn. When the Leaf Monster slips away, the group tries to stay safe by attending seminars—until Jughead’s hunger leads him and Hot Dog on a risky kitchen raid, only to discover a shelf full of leaves and "Gooby Snax." That’s when the monster reappears, sending them fleeing toward the lecture hall.

In "A Familiar Old Haunt (Chapter IV)," Archie, Veronica, Betty, and Jughead face a leafy terror when the mysterious Leaf Monster strikes again—only to discover the eerie forest holds more than one monster. With Hot Dog at their side and a trail of clues leading through the woods, the gang must unravel the truth behind the disguises before the prank turns truly dangerous.
