Release #158 - PEP Comic #158

Pep Comic Issue 158 includes the story “Archie in War Is Swell”. Mr. Lodge scoffs at what he calls the “softness” of today’s youth when he spots Archie, Betty, Veronica, Reggie, and Jughead lounging by the pool. His comments quickly spark an impromptu game of touch football to prove a point. But once the competition kicks off, will Mr. Lodge be able to keep up—and who really has the best moves on the field? Other stories in this issue include “Reggie in No Escape“, “Fly Girl in The Face Of Fear!”, “Li'l Jinx in Physical Fit-Mess”, 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.
