Pep Comic Issue 177 includes the story “Archie in The Third Man”. Archie and Reggie settle their rivalry over Veronica the old-fashioned way — arm wrestling — but when Reggie tries to claim his "prize," Veronica shuts him down hard and storms off to find her own date. Now both boys are left standing in the hallway, each blaming the other for losing her. But who is the mystery "third man" Veronica has in mind — and can Archie and Reggie do anything to stop her? Other stories in this issue include “Archie in Guardian Angle“, “Li'l Jinx in Cut It Out!”, “Josie in The Nurses”, 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.
