Exclusive Preview: ‘Archie’s Funhouse Jumbo Comics Digest’
Our exclusive preview of Archie’s Funhouse Jumbo Comics Digest features a new lead story by writer J. Torres, author of Alison Dare, Bigfoot Boy, and, most recently, Zodiac Starforce. (He also did the Jinx graphic novel for Archie.) Art is by Tim and Pat Kennedy.
A rollerblading double date threatens to embarrass Archie in front of both Betty and Veronica! Can he learn how to blade in just a few days time in order to keep the date going smoothly and maintain his cool image? Or will Reggie be determined to skate him out of the ring… and into the hospital? Find out in “Cheat Skate,” the fun new lead story to this JUMBO-sized comics digest.
We also have a slice of an older story in which Archie gets a robot dog—and hilarious complications ensue! The comic is out in comic shops on May 11. Enjoy!
