Out now is a new story I wrote in Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #340! This was my first time writing an Archie story featuring the Superteens (and the Power Pets)! Here’s the official synopsis:
In “Power Pet Peeves,” the Superteens get word that a handful of supervillains are loose in Riverdale. As the team goes to stop these villains, the Power Pets tag along unnoticed. But when our teen superheroes come face-to-face with a villainous bank robber, the Power Pets leap into action!

I’ve got two new stories out this week in Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #337 and Betty and Veronica Jumbo Comics Digest #311. Both these stories feature International Detective Fu Chang! For those of you who haven’t heard of Fu Chang, he debuted in Pep Comics #1 in 1940, which was BEFORE the first appearance of Archie! Archie eventually appeared in Pep Comics #22 in 1941, and became a wild success shortly thereafter. You can read more about the character of Fu Chang here.
Both Archie and Betty and Veronica digests are on sale now! You can get them at your local comics book shop, bookstore, or ComiXology!
Here’s the official write-up for each story:
Archie Digest #337: In “Detective for a Day,” Archie and Jughead happen to walk right into the middle of a fight scene between Fu Chang and a gang of criminals. As Fu Chang takes them down, Archie and Jughead’s eyes widen with excitement and decide right then that they, too, want to be awesome crime-fighting detectives like him! Will they be able to learn from the master, or will they get under his skin before he can give them a taste of the detective life?

Betty and Veronica Digest #311: In “Ransomware Beware,” Lodge Industries was hit with a ransomware attack. If Mr. Lodge doesn’t pay $100 million, all of the company’s computers could be wiped. This looks like a job for Detective Fu Chang! Fu Chang believes the hackers have been posing as high school students. With his guidance and mentoring, Archie volunteers to go undercover and pretend to be a master hacker with the hopes of being recruited by them so he can expose their operation! But can Archie pull of this hi-tech heist?
