From Betty: The Final Girl and Pop's Chock’lit Shoppe of Horrors to Camp Pickens and the recently released Madam Satan, Archie Comics has been delivering the ghoulish goods in their Chilling Adventures Presents... one-shots all year long, and with another Spooky Season upon us, they're continuing their celebration of all things horror with family-friendly frights in their digest comics!
With another festive fall upon us, we're thrilled (and chilled) to once again team up with Archie Comics to provide Daily Dead readers with the weekly treat of exclusive previews from their digest comics! This week, we have an early look at Ginger Snapp helping The Archies prepare for a Halloween concert in the story "In a Pickle!", one of the seasonal stories featured in the upcoming World of Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #134!
As an additional treat, we also have the previously published story "Dilton the Robo-Teen" (drawn by the legendary Gene Colan and featuring a clever showdown between Dilton and Reggie) to read in its entirety!
And for those unfamiliar with Ginger Snapp (who is featured in the new one-shot Chilling Adventures Presents... Welcome to Riverdale), we also have a look at her biography page from The Archie Encyclopedia, which I highly recommend for new readers and longtime Archie Comics fans alike.
Below, you can read our exclusive preview from World of Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #134 ahead of its release on October 18th, and be sure to check out our previous Archie Comics Halloween previews and read our recurring "Archie's House of Horror" column written by Jamie L. Rotante, Senior Director of Editorial and writer at Archie Comics! To learn more about Archie Comics and all of their scary good releases, visit:
WORLD OF ARCHIE JUMBO COMICS DIGEST #134
TWO BRAND NEW STORIES! Ginger Snapp visits Pop’s Chock’lit Shoppe on the eve of Halloween to help Betty & Veronica with costume ideas. As different Riverdale folks stop by, they remember a particular Halloween-related incident around Pop’s food item. Then, when Penny's boxing instructor, Pug, is charged with a gym owner’s disappearance she teams up with Veronica and Archie to prove him innocent. Will the three be victorious or wind up down for the count themselves?

Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
