World of Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #50
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The World of Archie!", Archie’s world gets a surprisingly literal twist when Cricket O'Dell, a girl who can literally smell money and is drawn to wealth like a magnet, sets her sights on the Lodge family’s fortune—leading Archie to pass her along to Reggie Mantle. When Reggie’s attempts to shake her fail, he tries a new tactic: he hands over some cash to Jughead, who instantly becomes Cricket’s next target. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated with classic flair by Harry Lucey—whose pencils, inks, and coloring bring the absurdity to life—this lighthearted tale from the 2015 Double Digest #50 features a delightfully silly premise and a cover by Fernando Ruiz and Bob Smith.
In "Pharaoh Foul," Jughead Jones and Veronica Lodge stumble upon a hidden chamber in an Egyptian tomb, where they’re instantly inspired to don ancient regalia and play at being the Pharaoh and his Queen Ah Shetup. With Archie, Betty, Reggie, and Hiram along for the chaotic ride, the adventure takes a delightfully silly turn as pranks and playful power plays unfold under the desert sun.
When the heatwave hits Riverdale, Melody finds herself the center of unwanted attention—so much so that she’s forced to cover up completely, while Josie and Pepper struggle to get noticed at all. With Albert and Sock distracted by the sweltering weather, and Alexander Cabot III’s usual antics on pause, the girls must navigate the strange new balance of attention—before things get even hotter.
When Mr. Jones assigns Josie the dreaded dish duty, Pepper jumps in with a dramatic protest—claiming dishpan hands could ruin her chances with Albert. To settle the dispute, Josie’s dad enlists Albert to help, turning the kitchen into a chaotic team effort.
When Mr. Tuttle tells Melody to "forget" about a task he assigned her, she takes the instruction far too literally—trying desperately to erase the thought from her mind. But no matter how hard she tries, the idea sticks, leading to a series of increasingly comical attempts to clear her head, with Josie, Pepper, and Albert caught in the chaos.
Archie Andrews is supposed to be a responsible head counselor, but his usual antics follow him to camp—whether he’s supposed to be lifeguarding or riding horses. When he gets lost on a hike, he stumbles into an all-girls camp and, to avoid being caught by Miss Parker, has to blend in by pretending to be one of the girl campers and joining their activities.
Archie Andrews finds himself tangled in a bizarre situation when Cricket O'Dell, a girl who can literally smell money and is drawn to the wealthy, sets her sights on him due to his ties to the Lodges. Desperate to shake her off, Archie passes her along to Reggie Mantle, who tries to keep her interest with a wild night of money-themed antics—only to pass her on to Jughead Jones when he realizes he’s out of options.
