Whether it's the autumnal chill in the night air or the crunch of freshly fallen leaves underfoot, the signs of another Spooky Season are lurking around every corner, and 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 family-friendly (and festively frightful) digest comics, beginning with an early look at Archie Showcase Jumbo Comics Digest #20: Archie's Halloween Special ahead of its September 11th release!
In our exclusive preview below, you can read the classic story "Man's Best Fiend" in its entirety! Written by Frank Doyle with pencils by Harry Lucey and inks and pencils by Marty Epp, "Man's Best Fiend" follows Jughead and Archie on their midnight trek through a cemetery, where they unknowingly cross paths with a vampire... leading to increasingly frightful frustrations for the creature of the night.
In addition to our preview, be sure to read the recurring "Archie's House of Horror" column written by Jamie L. Rotante, Senior Director of Editorial and writer at Archie Comics! And to learn more about Archie Comics and all of their scary good releases, visit:
