World of Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Love Me Baby, Mumbai!", ancient Rome is thrown into chaos as Emperor Archie faces a deadly conspiracy orchestrated by the villainous Regibus and the deceitful daughter of Senator Lodge. With the fate of the empire hanging in the balance, a mysterious new slave girl named Betty steps forward to thwart their plot. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life by Harry Lucey’s art, Jim DeCarlo’s inks, Paul D’Onofrio’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s letters, this double digest tale blends historical intrigue with classic Archie charm. The cover, by Bill Galvan and Al Milgrom, captures the drama in bold, dynamic style.
When Raj Patel’s quirky online film catches the eye of a Mumbai-based producer, Kunal Desai, he’s suddenly whisked away on a whirlwind trip to India—along with his castmates from Riverdale, including Archie, Veronica, Betty, Jughead, and the rest. With Bollywood dreams and unexpected cultural adventures on the horizon, the gang finds themselves navigating fame, friendship, and a whole new kind of high-stakes prank war.
In a hilarious twist of history, Ancient Rome is under siege not by barbarians, but by a scheming villain and a conniving noblewoman plotting to overthrow Emperor Archie. When the emperor’s life is threatened, a clever new slave named Betty steps in to foil the plot—much to the surprise of everyone, especially the ever-hungry Jughead, who’s just trying to find a decent meal.
