Release #39 - PEP Comic #39

Pep Comic Issue 39 includes the story “Archie Starring Jughead”. Archie and Betty organize a contest to help kids complete their war stamp books—a real initiative during World War II! Jughead, always up for some mischief, plans a prank on them, but it backfires, leaving him as the unexpected victim of his own joke. Other stories in this issue include “The Shield and Dusty in The City of Corpses!”, “The Hangman in Murder By Appointment”, “Bentley of Scotland Yard in Murder at the Carnival”, 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.
