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?

BRAND NEW STORY! In “Adventures in Christmas Babysitting,” Archie, Jughead, Betty, and Veronica have taken Jellybean, Leroy, and Souphead to the mall at Christmastime. While Betty and Veronica take Jellybean to shop at a “boring” clothing store, Archie and Jughead volunteer to take the kids to see Santa. But as soon as Souphead and Leroy are out of Betty and Veronica’s view, they unexpectedly dart off! Can Archie and Jughead find the kids and keep them from getting into hijinks?

I’ve got a new story out this week in World of Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #122! This story titled “LODGEstacle Course” is inspired by crazy obstacle courses like the ones seen in the TBS show Wipeout. There’s a ton of action going on in this story as well as a large assortment of Archie characters. As you can imagine, this was a ton of fun to write! To pick up this issue, visit your local comic book store, bookstore, newsstand, or get the digital version from ComiXology! Here’s the official write-up:
TWO BRAND NEW STORIES! First, in “LODGEstacle Course,” Mr. Lodge is sponsoring the Riverdale Summer Obstacle Course Race. When Archie promises to take Veronica on a date if he wins, Mr. Lodge does everything he can to make sure Archie loses!
Then, in “The Different Drummer,” Archie finds Trula Twyst, of all people, playing drums with a band in a local club! Even more, Trula is playing the kit in Jughead’s own distinctive style! Archie knows that Trula often uses her considerable brains and talents to try to get under Jughead’s skin, so now it’s up to him to stop her from encountering Jughead. Will Trula finally allow Jughead to march to the beat of his own drum?
