The New Crusaders face a small problem in this preview of ‘Archie Jumbo Comics Digest’

Check out a preview of a new story by Dan Parent coming next week from Archie Comics.

Courtesy of Archie Comics, we’re pleased to share a preview of a new story appearing in next week’s Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #358.

Dan Parent writes and draws this one, joined by inker Bob Smith, colorist Glenn Whitmore and letterer Jack Morelli. In it, the New Crusaders are due to attend an event at the MLJ Museum, but they are nowhere to be found — until Archie’s friend Stacy Banks “figures” out what might be amiss.

You can check out the preview below, along with a complete “classic” Archie story by Frank Doyle and Stan Goldberg.

Archie’s obsessive fandom helps save the day in ‘Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #348’

Check out an exclusive preview of a new story coming in next week’s digest from Archie Comics.

Hey! We’re back with another preview, courtesy of our friends at Archie Comics. This one’s for a new story appearing in Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #348, which will arrive in stores Feb. 28.

In “The Devil’s in the Details,” Archie’s interview to intern at MLJ Museum with The Shield goes sideways when a swarm of villains show up — but all isn’t as it seems in this story by Ian Flynn, Pat Kennedy, Jim Amash, Glenn Whitmore and Jack Morelli.

BTW, the “MLJ” Museum is a fun Easter egg — it’s a reference to Archie Comics’ original name, M.L.J. Magazines, Inc., which started out publishing superheroes before Archie and the gang were created. It was named for the founders, Maurice Coyne, Louis Silberkleit and John L. Goldwater.

Check out the preview below, along with a complete “classic” Arachie story by Frank Doyle and Stan Goldberg.
