From Afterlife with Archie and Jughead: The Hunger to Vampironica and Blossoms 666, Archie Comics has given adult horror fans plenty to enjoy in recent years, but they also have never stopped providing family-friendly frights in their digest comics.
With another Halloween season upon us, we're thrilled (and chilled) to once again team up with Archie Comics to provide Daily Dead readers the weekly treat of exclusive previews from their digest comics!
Following his rediscovery of a mysterious laboratory on a Halloween hike in the woods from our exclusive preview last month, Archie realizes that his childhood nemesis Mad Doctor Doom has returned for revenge in our exclusive preview from World of Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #124!
As an additional treat, we also have the Archie Comics story "The Gourd, the Bad and the Ugly" aka "Let the Gourd Times Roll" to read in its entirety!
Below, you can check out our Halloween-themed preview from World of Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #124 ahead of its release on October 26th! Go here to catch up on our previous Archie Comics Halloween season previews, and to learn more about Archie Comics, visit:
WORLD OF ARCHIE JUMBO COMICS DIGEST #124
TWO BRAND NEW STORIES! First, in “More Doom and Gloom,“ Archie can’t shake the feeling that something strange is happening in Riverdale after he and Jughead come across a mysterious lab in the woods. Then it hits Archie: he remembers that lab from childhood—it belongs to the evil Mad Doctor Doom! He also remembers the two children who foiled his plans for world domination in the past—but will they be able to stop him this time?
Then, in “The Power Pets Return!” Archie’s dog Vader has noticed that while the Superteens often work together, Evilheart (Reggie) enjoys playing practical jokes on Pureheart (Archie). Trying to steer Reggie in the right direction, Vader enlists the other Power Pets to help him prevent these practical jokes once and for all!

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.
