  • JonInIowaCity: Checking out some of those main stories, it looks like Archie Double Digest is the one with new materials and the others are all reprints. Still, it'll be good to have more new Archie stories! :)

  • JonInIowaCity: Exciting news from the September 2013 solicits! Looks like new content in "Archie Double Digest #244"! And possibly new stories in some of the other digests, though I'm not certain. I like reprints, but the new material would be great! :) [link])

I don't collect the digests, but I was never crazy about the Story & Game covers when the cover itself was a game.



I count 13 things wrong, how about you?  :)

If we're going to see a cover with an extreme close-up of Betty and Veronica gossiping about Archie, we could at least get a spoken or visual gag behind it!

Of course, what's more unforgivable is having a spelling mistake in the cover gag itself.

Hang on, why did Veronica's eyes turn blue?

Yeah, in a story, I can see how it can be missed.  A cover gag, though...I dunno...  ;)

(Spelling errors irk me in general though...LOL)

Who's to say they aren't blue? We usually see nothing of the girls' eyes except the typical black dots.




Betty Cooper + Cheryl Blossom. It's inevitable.

I think they kept the black dot eyes all those years to make Cheryl's green eyes stand out more.

This cover kind of stinks.

a) It's joke-free.

b) Archie is impressed by some really mediocre-looking cheerleading.  He should watch the competitions on ESPN sometime.  (Actually, knowing Archie, he probably does.)

I can see why. What a lame routine. No way are they winning the national title! :)

Well, that and the sun appears to be going super nova. :)

The supernova destroyed Archie's version of Earth-2, where the covers have no jokes and the cheerleaders are merely adequate.  :)

The obvious joke is Archie's hideous flannel shirt.  Is he going to be giving out paper towels?

And is the asian-esque girl under Betty an actual character or just one of those phantom teenagers that roam the halls of Riverdale High like ghosts to be seen once and never again?

I always thought it was Tomoko.  The cover's too old for it to be Kumi.  :D
