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.
Pep Comic Issue 373 features the story Archie in You Bet. Archie and Reggie agree to a wager with Jughead as the judge. The bet is who can get the most dates in one month. Who will come out on top? Other stories in this issue include Chuck Clayton in Nancy Says, “Li'l Jinx's Pal Charley in Fan Male”, “That Wilkin Boy in Space Story”, and more.
