By popular demand we are pleased to present another collection of stories from the frantic forties. In the forties when comics had an “anything goes” quality, Archie was there with all his wacky antics and hilarious tales. In the tradition of the Archie Americana Series, this is a high quality 96-page trade paperback. Definitely a collector's item to be enjoyed by the entire family. This book will be available on or about September 18. Featured in ARCHIE & FRIENDS #62 is a story entitled “A Change of Plans.” Mr. Lodge invites the kids to accompany him to rustic old Silverton, an authentic “Old West” town. His plan is to convert this town into an amusement park. They soon find out the town has its j—# Own version of fun and adventure. NY In JUGHEAD #147 Reggie won't cut Af Jughead any slack, but is willing to cut Jughead’s slacks. However, Reggie’s cutting prank backfires when Jug is turned into a trend setter. Also in this issue, Trula Twyst returns and Jughead meets the challenge of the day as he tries to find a Halloween costume that will conceal him from her. Don’t miss it... on sale next month. A monster sighting sends the gang investigating Lodge Manor, a creepy castle that was once the Lodge family ancestral home. Mr. Lodge had it shipped to the U.S. stone by stone, brick by brick. No one lives there except for a strange caretaker. There’s more than monsters behind “The Mystery of Lodge Manor.” You'll go bananas when you pick up your copy of ARCHIE’S WEIRD MYSTERIES #24. A new family moves into a luxurious home next door to Veronica. Our credit card princess, who has been watching too many mobster movies lately, thinks her new neighbors are gangsters. Veronica sets up surveillance and comes up with some startling evidence. But what 4 does she do next? Read “Ron Takes a Hit” in VERONICA #132.
