In case you missed it, I had a new story in Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #324 that went on sale a couple weeks ago. This one is a modern parody of Johnny Appleseed featuring Archie Appleseed! Here’s the official synopsis:
BRAND NEW STORY: “Archie Appleseed” Four years ago Archie had the idea to plant apple trees in all of his friends and neighbor’s yards. This year the trees began bearing fruit, but it’s way more fruit than anyone had anticipated! Now with Riverdale covered in apples, it’s up to Archie Appleseed himself to figure out how to get to the core of the problem!

For those of you who miss in-person comic events, NY Comic Con is on this year! The convention will be held October 7-10, 2021 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York.
I’ll be right on the main floor at booth #2823. In addition to having all my Suburban Fairy Tales books available, I’ll also have an assortment of Archie books I worked on, plus a convention exclusive edition of my newest book, Scared Sheepless. You’ll also be able to pick up Suburban Fairy Tales stickers, buttons, and plush piggies.
If you’re going to the show, please stop by and say hi! Hope to see you there!
I wrote another Halloween story titled “Cursetume Party,” which is out now in Betty and Veronica Jumbo Comics #297. You may be interested to know that Bill Golliher continues the story in World of Archie #113, and Dan Parent concludes it in World of Betty and Veronica #9. Each story stands alone, but getting all three issues is recommended!
Here’s the official summary:
BRAND NEW STORY: “Cursetume Party” Betty and Veronica are out costume shopping for the big Lodge Mansion Halloween Party. Veronica admires a spooky necklace being worn by an old woman at the shop who gifts it to them. Unfortunately, her generous gesture leads to a series of unfortunate events for the BFFs!

I know it’s still September, but now is the perfect time to get a jump-start on Halloween with a new story I wrote in Betty and Veronica Friends Forever: Halloween Spooktacular #1. This is the first time that I used Sabrina the Teenage Witch in a story, and definitely won’t be the last (I’m still sad about the Netflix show ending). I also love the cover drawn by Dan Parent! If you want to grab a copy check your local comic book shop, newsstand, or get the digital issue on ComiXology. Here’s the official synopsis:
Betty & Veronica are here with some spooky stories to get you into the Halloween spirit, including a BRAND-NEW story! In “Best Witches,” while out shopping for their Halloween costumes, Betty and Veronica find an old witch’s hat at a thrift store. Thinking it would be perfect for her costume, Veronica buys it and puts it on. When she wishes that Archie was there and then he magically appears, they realize the hat is magic! What will Betty and Veronica do next with this newfound power?
