July means summer – time to hit the beach! While others are reading
suspenseful, romantic paperback novels, Archie Comics is offering an
alternative: two digests full of intrigue with stories so thrilling, it takes
multiple issues to tell the tales!
We begin with BETTY & VERONICA DOUBLE DIGEST #153. If you haven’t heard about “Bad Boy Trouble Yet,” you haven’t been paying attention! “Bad Boy Trouble” is the ground-breaking story that began in BETTY & VERONICA DOUBLE DIGEST #151 and caused quite a stir, because it features Riverdale's teens in a whole new look! That’s right, the flagship characters of Archie Comics are getting an extreme makeover, and the buzz is deafening! At this year’s second annual blockbuster New York City Comic-Con, both fans and media alike swarmed the Archie Comics booth hoping to learn more about this major event. Is wild man Nick St. Clair the misunderstand romantic he’s convinced Veronica he is, or the wolf in biker’s clothing that her friends think he is? All will be revealed in the pages of BETTY & VERONICA DIGEST, so be sure to reserve your copy of this much-anticipated issue, drawn in the all-new realistic style everyone is talking about!

Over in the pages of TALES FROM RIVERDALE DIGEST #22,
another intriguing, multi-part tale is taking shape. In fact, “Civil Chores
Part One” is a story that may just set the Riverdale teens asunder! When Archie
goes on strike to protest the many chores/low allowance imbalance, he finds he
has a lot of allies prepared to join him in his cause. But when Jughead
realizes a raise for Archie means more dates with the girls and less time to
hang with him, he forms an uneasy alliance with Riverdale’s sneakiest and
shiftiest. Will these monetary politics prove to be a triumph or tribulation
for Riverdale’s teens? Don’t miss the first part of this two-part tale, to be
continued the following issue!
Last but not least comes an intriguing tale straight from the annals of
real life - the thrilling debut of artist Bill Galvan! In 2006 Archie Comics
conducted portfolio reviews in search of new talent. Bill showed up at the San
Diego Comic-Con with portfolio in hand and homemade Jughead shirt on back, and
before too long his desire to render the misadventures of the crowned one was
evident! Impressed by Galvan's pencil samples, the Archie management team hired
Galvan as their newest artist, and his first-published work appears in
JUGHEAD & FRIENDS #22. In "Mission Improbable," a story
written by fan-favorite George Gladir, Jughead is helping his mother manage
their booth at the bake sale. Do the delicious desserts stand a chance of being
sold with Jughead around? You won't believe the outrageous lengths Jughead goes
to "take the cake!"

I love the Betty and Veronica 151 series. I love how it is drawn. It makes the characters look real. I hope they come out with a whole book on this. Now the other drawings like Pal n gals 125 make the characters look dumb. Please bring out the other drawing.
