TALES FROM RIVERDALE DIGEST #23

GUEST-STARRING NEARLY EVERY TEEN IN THE ARCHIE UNIVERSE!

“Civil Chores Part Two”: Last issue, the world of Riverdale was rocked when Archie decided to go on strike claiming there was no equity between his chores and his allowance. Before too long, the other teens in town chose sides… but when the other side is headed by Veronica and Reggie, watch out! They only want to maintain their status as Riverdale’s richest teens, but when Jughead joins their side for his own ulterior motives, it turns everything upside down! As the story continues, the rest of Riverdale’s fabled teens will choose sides… and you’ll be surprised at not only who turns up but which side they choose! What will be the outcome? Whatever it is, we wouldn’t be surprised if the crowned-one has the last laugh! Who are the guest-stars? Reserve your copy today to find out! SCRIPT AND ART: Fernando Ruiz. PLUS: Other new and classic tales! SCRIPT AND ART: Various talents. BONUS: Puzzles, games and your pin-ups!

BETTY & VERONICA DOUBLE DIGEST #154

THE EXPLOSIVE CONCLUSION OF A SPECIAL FOUR-ISSUE SAGA FEATURING RIVERDALE’S FAVORITE TEENS IN A WHOLE NEW LOOK!

“Bad Boy Trouble Part 4”: It all comes down to this: the months and months of debate over and media coverage surrounding Betty and Veronica’s new looks culminate in a climactic conclusion as the “Bad Boy Trouble” saga draws to a close! The world will finally learn whether rough-and-tumble Nick St. Clair is a true “wild hog” on a souped-up cycle, or merely a misunderstood Romeo worthy of Veronica’s affections. You won’t want to miss the heart-thumping answer, so be sure to reserve your copy of this much-anticipated issue, drawn in an all-new realistic style that has everyone talking! SCRIPT: Melanie J. Morgan. ART: Steven Butler.
