Issue 439
PEP Comic #141
Pep Comic Issue 141 includes the story “Archie in The King Is Back”. Archie shows up at the Lodge residence with a set of bongos, much to Veronica’s delight—and Mr. Lodge’s horror. As Mr. Lodge tries to review financial statements, the nonstop drumming pushes him to the brink. Will he finally put an end to the noise, or decide it’s easier to join in than fight it? Other stories in this issue include “Katy Keene in Trapeze Trouble“, “Li'l Jinx in Balloon Sur-Prizes”, “Archie in Unfair Tactics”, and more. Originally running from 1940 all the way into the '80s, PEP was the platform for Archie's first appearance in 1941 and introduced many of the Riverdale citizens that the world still follows over 80 years later.
